“Fiat Justitia, ruat coelum, says another maxim, as full of extravagance as it is of harmony: Go heaven to wreck — so justice be but done: — and what is the ruin of kingdoms, in comparison of the wreck of heaven?” Jeremy Bentham, An Introduction to the Principles of Morals and Legislation 13–14 n.1 (1823).
