Edit 1:

Using NSAttributedString we can justify text.

NSMutableParagraphStyle *paragraphStyles = [[NSMutableParagraphStyle alloc] init];
paragraphStyles.alignment                = NSTextAlignmentJustified;
paragraphStyles.firstLineHeadIndent      = 0.05;    // Very IMP

NSString *stringTojustify                = @"We are what our thoughts have made us; so take care about what you think. Words are secondary. Thoughts live; they travel far.";
NSDictionary *attributes                 = @{NSParagraphStyleAttributeName: paragraphStyles};
NSAttributedString *attributedString     = [[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithString:stringTojustify attributes:attributes];

self.lblQuote.attributedText             = attributedString;
self.lblQuote.numberOfLines              = 0;
[self.lblQuote sizeToFit];

Deprecation of UITextAlignmentJustify, not available anymore under iOS 6.

All possible solutions to justified text are given at this SO link also have a look at this page and iOS6 prerelease Documentation.

Answer 2

I kind of found a way to make the label Justifiy in iOS 7: i simply set NSBaselineOffsetAttributeName to 0.

No idea why you need to add this baseline setting on iOS 7, (it works fine on iOS 6).

NSMutableParagraphStyle *paragraph = [[NSMutableParagraphStyle alloc] init];
        paragraph.alignment = NSTextAlignmentJustified;

NSDictionary *attributes = @{ NSParagraphStyleAttributeName : paragraph,
                                        NSFontAttributeName : self.textLabel.font,
                              NSBaselineOffsetAttributeName : [NSNumber numberWithFloat:0] };

NSAttributedString *str = [[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithString:content 
                                                          attributes:attributes];

self.textLabel.attributedText = str;

Hope that helps ;)
