We must come to see with the distinguished jurist of yesterday that "justice too long delayed is justice denied."

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Justice too long delayed is justice denied.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Justice delayed is justice denied.

William E. Gladstone

Justice is justice though it's always delayed and finally done only by mistake.

George Bernard Shaw

We know through painful experience that freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed. Frankly I have never yet engaged in a direct action movement that was 'well timed,' according to the timetable of those who have not suffered unduly from the disease of segregation. For years now I have heard the word 'Wait!' It rings in the ear of every Negro with a piercing familiarity. This 'wait' has almost always meant 'never.' We must come to see with the distinguished jurist of yesterday that 'justice too long delayed is justice denied.'

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Negroes are in no mood to shoulder guns for democracy abroad while they are denied democracy here at home.

A. Philip Randolph

Justice denied anywhere diminishes justice everywhere.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

One faith, one law and one standard of justice did not mean democracy. The heresy of democracy has since then worked havoc in church and state . . . Christianity and democracy are inevitably enemies.

R.J. Rushdoony

My father thought, and now I think too, that the system of democracy is entirely based upon the system of justice. If we do not have a system of justice that people believe in, the system of democracy will fail.

Henning Mankell

Foolish men imagine that because judgment for an evil thing is delayed, there is no justice; but only accident here below. Judgment for an evil thing is many times delayed some day or two, some century or two, but it is sure as life, it is sure as death.

Thomas Carlyle

Democracy is a destiny of humanity which cannot be averted. It can be delayed but not defeated.

Eskinder Nega

Democracy derailed is democracy denied.

Chaka Fattah

Justice deferred is justice denied.

Diane Watson

The taste of democracy becomes a bitter taste when the fullness of democracy is denied.

Max Lerner

A right delayed is a right denied.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Texans for Public Justice, an anti-corruption group based in Texas applauded the indictment. No jury can undo the outcome of Texas 2002 elections, ... but the justice system must punish those who criminally conspire to undermine democracy no matter how powerful they may be. If we are to be a democracy, then powerful politicians cannot flout such laws with impunity.
