A Vindication of Natural Society (1756)
Context: A good parson once said, that where mystery begins, religion ends. Cannot I say, as truly at least, of human laws, that where mystery begins, justice ends? It is hard to say whether the doctors of law or divinity have made the greater advances in the lucrative business of mystery. The lawyers, as well as the theologians, have erected another reason besides natural reason; and the result has been, another justice besides natural justice. They have so bewildered the world and themselves in unmeaning forms and ceremonies, and so perplexed the plainest matters with metaphysical jargon, that it carries the highest danger to a man out of that profession, to make the least step without their advice and assistance. Thus, by confining to themselves the knowledge of the foundation of all men's lives and properties, they have reduced all mankind into the most abject and servile dependence. We are tenants at the will of these gentlemen for everything; and a metaphysical quibble is to decide whether the greatest villain breathing shall meet his deserts, or escape with impunity, or whether the best man in the society shall not be reduced to the lowest and most despicable condition it affords. In a word, my Lord, the injustice, delay, puerility, false refinement, and affected mystery of the law are such, that many who live under it come to admire and envy the expedition, simplicity, and equality of arbitrary judgments.
“It is fit that justice should be administered with great caution.”
Rex v. Bowditch (1818), 2 Chit. Rep. 281.

Role of the Chinese Communist Party (October 1938)
Original: (zh-CN) 不但要关心党的干部,还要关心非党的干部。党外存在着很多的人材,共产党不能把他们置之度外。去掉孤傲习气,善于和非党干部共事,真心诚意地帮助他们,用热烈的同志的态度对待他们,把他们的积极性组织到抗日和建国的伟大事业中去,这是每一个共产党员的责任。
“I think the first duty of society is justice.”
