#Quotations on social justice
•Justice that is not rooted in equity, in social welfare, and in community is not justice at all. (DeRay Mckesson)
•In matters of truth and justice, there is no difference between large and small problems, for issues concerning the treatment of people are all the same. (Albert Einstein)
•There is a higher court than courts of justice and that is the court of conscience. It supersedes all other courts. (Mahatma Gandhi)
•Power has only one duty – to secure the social welfare of the People. (Benjamin Disraeli)
•You cannot have peace without security, and you cannot have security without inclusive development— KOFI ANNAN
#Dr. Ambedkar
•A just society is that society in which ascending sense of reverence and descending sense of contempt is dissolved into the creation of a compassionate society
•So long as you do not achieve social liberty, whatever freedom is provided by the law is of no avail to you.
•Justice has always evoked ideas of equality, of proportion of compensation.
Equity signifies equality. Rules and regulations, right and righteousness are concerned with equality in value.
If all men are equal, then all men are of the same essence, and the common essence entitles them of the same fundamental rights and equal liberty...
In short justice is another name of liberty, equality and fraternity.
•Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”― Martin Luther King Jr.
•True peace is not merely the absence of tension: it is the presence of justice.”― Martin Luther King Jr.
