By Elliott Brack | It was four-time British Prime Minister William Gladstone (1809-1898) who is credited with the phrase, “Justice delayed is justice denied.” In the modern day, that phrase was brought back to popularity by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in his “Letter from Birmingham Jail”, smuggled out of prison in 1963.

– The second president of the United States, John Adams (1735-1826).
