About This Quote
If there is any society where the leaders lack the knowledge and the importance of justice, then oppression will be a common neighbor of the citizens. This quote is an extremely powerful one. It's true that over time, there has been a shift from the rule of law to lawlessness. In modern times, we have seen an increase in state-sponsored terrorism and other forms of abuse of power. The rise of political leaders who show neither knowledge nor care for justice has led to abuses against large groups of people.
