“An absence of compassion can corrupt the decency of a community, a state, a nation... I’ve come to believe that the true measure of our commitment to justice, the character of our society, our commitment to the rule of law, fairness, and equality cannot be measured by how we treat the rich, the powerful, the privileged, and the respected among us. The true measure of our character is how we treat the poor, the disfavored, the accused, the incarcerated, and the condemned.”

"our commitment to the rule of law, fairness, and equality cannot be measured by how we treat the rich, the powerful, the privileged, and the respected among us"

importance in justice, no one is above the law, the belief that we are all equal.

"the true measure of our character is how we treat the poor, the disfavored, the accused, the incarcerated, and the condemned."

goodness in peole, the kindess of our hearts for every human.

extent to which i agree:
