Confucius on....Justice

Following on from my post about the rule of law I wanted to look at another one of the Core Socialist Values, Justice. Confucius was a wise man so here are some of his view on justice.

To be wealthy and honored in an unjust society is a disgrace.

Recompense injury with justice, and recompense kindness with kindness.

The higher type of man clings to virtue, the lower type of man clings to material comfort. The higher type of man cherishes justice, the lower type of man cherishes the hope of favors to be received.

Justice for All in the World

Heaven gives long life to the just and the intelligent.

Justice is like the north star, which is fixed, and all the rest revolve about it.
