A quote

“Now, Sir, if this be so, let justice be done, cost what it may. I am not prepared, like my honourable and learned friend, to agree to a compromise between right and expediency, and to commit an injustice for the public convenience.”

…uttered by Thomas Babington Macaulay in the House of Commons of the United Kingdom in 1841. It is well worth reading the whole speech and learn its context.
