“This reasonable moderator, and equal piece of justice, Death.”

“Justice means equality for equals, and inequality for unequals.”

“The reason to moderate is to avoid having to quit.”

“In the wake of World War II, most Democrats and liberals claimed that if justice could be done and was not, only evil intent could explain the inaction. Most Republicans and conservatives replied scornfully that the vagabonds were simply calling yet again for an equal share of wealth that others had earned. Most moderates, both Democrats and Republicans, admitted that more justice demanded to be done, but they warned that equality, absent the striving and competition that had always characterized American life, might be an attractive dream, but it was not “the” American Dream.Pursuing the American Dream, 7, 196”

“Justice in a fallen world is not equality of outcome but equal treatment under a fair law.”

“It is essential that justice be done, it is equally vital that justice not be confused with revenge, for the two are wholly different.”
