The Morality of Law | 
“It has been said that most of the world‘s injustices are inflicted, not with the fists, but with the elbows. When we use our fists we use them for a definite purpose, and we are answerable to others and to ourselves for that purpose. Our elbows, we may comfortably suppose, trace a random pattern for which we are not responsible, even though our neighbor may be painfully aware that he is being systematically pushed from his seat.”
TuesdayReviews “A strong commitment to the principles of legality compels a ruler to answer to himself, not only for his fists, but for his elbows as well.” 3y
