16.5.15

18 May 2015

When searching for the source of last week’s quotation, I came across this from the theologian and ethicist Reinhold Niebuhr:
“Man’s capacity for justice makes democracy possible;
but man’s inclination to injustice makes democracy necessary.”
Reinhold Niebuhr (From ‘The Children of Light and the Children of Darkness’ 1944)
