Not ONLY Law and Not ONLY Grace

Not every "ner-do-well" is an unrecognized Jean Valjean, and not every one who insists on holding them accountable is a heartless Javert.*

GRACE is meaningless without the LAW and the LAW is impossible without GRACE. 

* The two primary protagonists in Victor Hugo's brilliant novel: "Les Miserables" Jean Valjean spent 19 years on prison (initially) for stealing bread for his sister's starving children. Javert, the police inspector arrested Jean Valjean and sent him to prison.
