Dante Alighieri Quotes About Justice

Quotes about: Justice

• Justice does not descend from its own pinnacle.

  Dante Alighieri

  Justice, Doe, Pinnacle

• I am the way into the city of woe.
  I am the way to a forsaken people.
  I am the way into eternal sorrow.
  Sacred justice moved my architect.
  I was raised here by divine omnipotence,
  Primordial love and ultimate intellect.
  Only those elements time cannot wear
  Were made before me, and beyond time I stand.
  Abandon all hope ye who enter here.

• Through me you pass into the city of woe: Through me you pass into eternal pain: Through me among the people lost for aye.

Before me things create were none, save things Eternal, and eternal I shall endure. All hope abandon, ye who enter here.

Abandon every hope, ye who enter here.

• Here we find the moat of thieves. And just as a lizard, with a quick, slick slither, Flicks across the highway from hedge to hedge, Fleeter than a flash, in the battering dog-day weather, A fiery little monster, livid, in a rage, Black as any peppercorn, came and made a dart At the guts of the others, and leaping to engage One of the pair, it pierced him at the part Through which we first draw food; then loosed its grip And fell before him, outstretched and apart.
