This quote is saying that even men who understand and practice law are not better people because of it. The first part says that "law never made men a whit more just" 'a whit more' means 'any more', and 'just' means honest or good. So the first part means 'law never made men any more honest.
The second part says "<span>by means of their respect for it, even the well-disposed are daily made the agents of injustice". 'This section basically means 'because they like law and respect it they have access to all of the inner workings and details, they are able to manipulate it to use law for their own injust purposes.

Basically, this is saying that men who know a lot about law aren't necessarily good and a lot of the times it just makes them more able to support injustices.</span>

I need a diary entry for Old man Warner from the Lottery
Drupady [299]

Answer:

Old Man Warner, the oldest man in town, has participated in seventy-seven lotteries and is a staunch advocate for keeping things exactly the way they are. He dismisses the towns and young people who have stopped having lotteries as “crazy fools,” and he is threatened by the idea of change. He believes, illogically, that the people who want to stop holding lotteries will soon want to live in caves, as though only the lottery keeps society stable. He also holds fast to what seems to be an old wives’ tale—“Lottery in June, corn be heavy soon”—and fears that if the lottery stops, the villagers will be forced to eat “chickweed and acorns.” Again, this idea suggests that stopping the lottery will lead to a return to a much earlier era, when people hunted and gathered for their food. These illogical, irrational fears reveal that Old Man Warner harbors a strong belief in superstition. He easily accepts the way things are because this is how they’ve always been, and he believes any change to the status quo will lead to disaster. This way of thinking shows how dangerous it is to follow tradition blindly, never questioning beliefs that are passed down from one generation to the next.
