Matter of Justice.

Where shall justice begin, with
those who have power or with those
who suffer wrong? If exact and ideal
justice were done, the weak would
make an effort to give to the strong
all that is their due, and the strong
would try to put their affairs in order
SO that no Just cause of complaint
should exist anywhere. The unhappy
element in the relations Of the strong
and the weak is that both are think
ing too much about exacting Justice
and not enough about doing that
which is just and right. PAY what
thou owest" is the cry most often
heard. Give me that which is my
due, then l will pay you what l owe"
