World Justice Project

Famous quotes containing the words world, justice and/or project:

    “In the beautiful, man sets himself up as the standard of perfection; in select cases he worships himself in it.... Man believes that the world itself is filled with beauty—he forgets that it is he who has created it. He alone has bestowed beauty upon the world—alas! only a very human, an all too human, beauty.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “Take but degree away, untune that string,
    And hark what discord follows!
    ...
    Force should be right, or, rather, right and wrong—
    Between whose endless jar justice resides—
    Should lose their names, and so should justice too.
    Then everything includes itself in power,
    Power into will, will into appetite;
    And appetite, an universal wolf,
    So doubly seconded with will and power,
    Must make perforce an universal prey,
    And last eat up himself.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Oh Death he is a little man,
    And he goes from do’ to do’ ...”
    —Federal Writers’ Project Of The Wor, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
