Justice doesn't have a finish line, and neither does education. We never reach a point where we cannot learn, where ceasing to learn would make us, or the world, better. It takes perseverance to walk the road of justice, and we cannot know where or when--or if--it will end for us. Ken Wytsma
About This Quote

To be a person of justice is a noble endeavour. It is a part of human nature that we can never reach the end of our education. It takes time, practice, and hard work to walk this path of justice. It does not end at graduation or when we achieve our goals in life; it is an ongoing process that goes on forever.
