The weight of justice

The following proverbs are not, strictly speaking, some are the result of processing of the authors, sometimes in the form of bitter reflection, sometimes characters are no comments characterized by a high level of culture medium, and thus more similar to the aphorisms proverbs. However all have in common membership in the theme of justice, the law and its relation to the nearest of injustice, inequality and unequal treatment in the assessment of offenses and penalties.

in Arthur Conan Doyle, Sir Nigel Loring, the three companies, part one, chap. Second:
"The bag is heavier than the lower scales of justice"

in Cervantes, Don Quixote, vol. II, ch. XLII:
"If it happens that the rod of justice is curved, this will never happen to the weight of gifts, but for that of mercy" (Don Quixote)

in Agatha Christie, Appointment with Fear - Double tale clue :
"He has made a law to the person holding and another for those who are not" (Poirot)

A Weller my composition, proposed a variant:
The law is the law, even when it is bitter, as he said just before Socrates to drink hemlock.
I drink to the triumph of justice, as Socrates said a minute before drinking hemlock.
