Justice without strength, or strength without justice - fearful misfortunes!

Joubert.

No obligation to justice does force a man to be cruel, or to use the sharpest sentence. A just man does justice to every man and to everything; and then, if he be also wise, he knows there is a debt of mercy and compassion due to the infirmities of man's nature; and that is to be paid; and he that is cruel and ungentle to a sinning person, and does the worst to him, is in his debt and is unjust.-Jeremy Taylor.

Justice is the idea of God; the ideal of

men; the rule of conduct writ in the nature of mankind.-Theodore Parker.

Justice is the great interest of man on earth. It is the ligament which holds civilized beings and civilized nations together. Wherever her temple stands, and so long as it is duly honored, there is a foundation for social security, general happiness, and the improvement and progress of our race. And whoever labors on this edifice with usefulness and distinction, whoever clears its foundations, strengthens its pillars, adorns its entablatures, or contributes to raise its augnst dome still higher in the skies, connects himself, in name, and fame, and character, with that which is and must be as durable as the frame of human society.-Daniel Webster.

Kind words produce their own image in men's souls; and a beautiful image it is. They soothe and quiet and comfort the hearer. They shame him out of his sour, morose, unkind feelings. We have not yet begun to use kind words in such abundance as they ought to be used.-Pascal.

Each one of us is bound to make the little circle in which he lives better and happier. Bound to see that out of that small circle the widest good may flow.
