Cardinal Virtue of Justice from Judaism, Plato and later adapted by Augustine, Ambrose, Aquinas, and here continued by Clive Staples Lewis:
"Justice means much more than the sort of thing that goes on in law courts. It is the old name for everything we should now call 'fairness'; it includes honesty, give and take, truthfulness, keeping promises, and all that side of life."
