Also, secrecy or concealment, even although misinterpreted, is allowed, when it does not cause pernicious results; and is even enjoined and required in the intercourse of society, in order to prevent serious evils.

But an absolute standard of truth is incompatible, even with secrecy or disguise; in departing from the course of perfect openness, or absolute publicity of thought and action, in every possible circumstance, we renounce ideal truth in favour of a compromised or qualified veracity--a pursuit of truth in subordination to the general well-being of society.

If Justice is defined as giving to every one their own, the motive clearly is to prevent misery to individuals.

The idea of equality in Justice is seemingly an absolute conception, but, in point of fact, equality is a matter of institution.
