The irony of the Supreme Court hearing on these cases last week and of the outright hostility that the Court has displayed against religion in recent years is that above the head of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court is a concrete display of the Ten Commandments.

Next to religion let your care be to promote justice.

There's an ethic that says: 'You don't run off to the church for the sacraments of salvation you establish a personal relationship with God. You don't run off to the courts for justice you settle it yourself. You don't run off to labor unions to sort out your work relations you can take this job and shove it if you don't like what you're doing.'

All human laws are properly speaking only declaratory they have no power over the substance of original justice.

All too often arrogance accompanies strength and we must never assume that justice is on the side of the strong. The use of power must always be accompanied by moral choice.

It is certain in any case that ignorance allied with power is the most ferocious enemy justice can have.

Where is the justice of political power if it executes the murderer and jails the plunderer and then itself marches upon neighboring lands killing thousands and pillaging the very hills?

Anyone who has the power to make you believe absurdities has the power to make you commit injustices.

Justice and power must be brought together so that whatever is just may be powerful and whatever is powerful may be just.

When I got into the film business my aim was to adopt a positive persona of a guy who fights against injustice. And it saved me because my acting was atrocious to say the least!
