To commit injustice is in the nature of good things, and to suffer it, is an evil thing; but the evil of the latter exceeds the good of the former; and so, after the twofold experience of both doing and suffering injustice, those who cannot avoid the latter and compass the former find it expedient to make a compact of mutual abstinence from injustice. Hence arose a legislation and contract between man and man, and hence it became the custom to call that which the law enjoined just, as well as lawful.
