Thought of the Day

Many are of the view that Justice is under threat in Trinidad and Tobago. I can't deny I am appalled myself by that new Draft Constitutuion. That thing reminds me of Inquisition when the merest whisper was enough to deprive man of even the simpliest liberties. Justice is more under threat than ever before.

So today I will leave you with some thoughts on Justice to think about:

Justice consists not in being neutral between right and wrong, but in finding out the right and upholding it, wherever found, against the wrong.

Theodore Roosevelt, 1916
(quoted in the Theodore Roosevelt Centennial CD-ROM)
26th president of US (1858 - 1919)

Liberty, equality - bad principles! The only true principle for humanity is justice; and justice to the feeble is protection and kindness.
Henri-Frédéric Amiel
