Justice produces justice (Ralph Waldo Emerson)


   I have confidence in the laws of morals as of botany.  I have planted maize in my field every June for seventeen years and I never knew it come up strychnine.  My parsley, beet, turnip, carrot, buck-thorn, chestnut, acorn, are as sure.  I believe that justice produces justice, and injustice injustice.

--Ralph Waldo Emerson, Emerson in Concord
