I have also seen the variants "Know Justice, Know Peace" and "K(NO)W Justice K(NO)W Peace." How are these related to the phrase in the article? If anyone knows how they relate, or can find any reliable sources discussing the variant, can you please add that information to the article? --

Similar phrases go at least as far back as the Virginia ratification debates, where Gov. Randolph said the following in support of ratifying the constitution:
We are told that the report of dangers is false. The cry of peace, sir, is false...Where there are so many witnesses in many parts of America, that justice is suffocated, shall peace and happiness still be said to reign?...A man, who was then a citizen, was deprived of his life thus: from a mere reliance on general reports...There is no peace, sir, in this land. Can peace exist with injustice, licentiousness, insecurity, and oppression?
