One of my favorite quotes about justice comes from the Robert Kennedy grave site (above left) at Arlington National Cemetery in Washington, D.C. It reads:

"It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is [thus] shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance." - South Africa 1966

The same idea is embodied in the following quote from President Obama (above right) as he delivered a speech on the 50th anniversary of the March On Washington on August 28, 1963:

"But we would dishonor those heroes as well to suggest that the work of this nation is somehow complete. The arc of the moral universe may bend towards justice, but it doesn't bend on its own. To secure the gains this country has made requires constant vigilance, not complacency. Whether by challenging those who erect new barriers to the vote, or ensuring that the scales of justice work equally for all, and the criminal justice system is not simply a pipeline from underfunded schools to overcrowded jails, it requires vigilance."
