Text Quotes
When the rights of any individual or group are chipped away, the freedom of all erodes  (Rights Quotes) Remember that rights are moral principles which define and protect a man’s freedom of action, but impose no obligations on other men.  (Rights Quotes) Some people only speak of freedom of speech while they’re out of power. Once they’re in power, they’re ruthless in suppressing the rights of others.  (Rights Quotes) Only by zealously guarding the rights of the most humble, the most unorthodox, and the most despised among us can freedom flourish and endure in our land.  (Rights Quotes) Democracy was supposed to champion freedom of speech, and yet the simple rules of table decorum could clamp down on the rights their forefathers had fought and died for.  (Rights Quotes) We are all one family in the world. Building a community that empowers everyone to attain their full potential through each of us respecting each other’s dignity, rights and responsibilities makes the world a better place to live.  (Rights Quotes) The United States Supreme Court has repeatedly held that marriage is one of the most fundamental rights that we have as Americans under our Constitution.  (Rights Quotes) Just as we Liberal Democrats opposed the flawed logic of that war in Iraq - we will oppose the flawed government claim that we have to surrender our fundamental rights in order to improve our security.  (Rights Quotes) When you have incidences like the Trayvon Martin verdict, the erosion of certain fundamental rights like voting, it just reminds us that we’re always one Supreme Court justice vote away from losing the progress that has been made.  (Rights Quotes) My hope is that the Pope Francis visit to Cuba will remind all the Cuban citizens that they possess dignity and fundamental rights that come from God and that the Castro regime has no claim on changing what is 100% God-given.  (Rights Quotes) Of course we desire education and we think it is a good thing, but you don’t have to have education in order to know that you want certain fundamental rights, you have got aspirations, you have got acclaims. It has nothing to do with education whatsoever.  (Rights Quotes) India’s democracy where over 1 billion people have a voice in deciding their future is a world example of how governance can incorporate diversity into a movement for inclusive growth. New modes of democratic engagement, especially through using e-governance are allowing greater access to fundamental rights for all our people.  (Rights Quotes) The Muslim world suffers from internal divisions, antidemocratic practices, and the violation of fundamental human rights and freedoms.  (Rights Quotes) Fidel Castro’s legacy is one of firing squads, theft, unimaginable suffering, poverty and the denial of fundamental human rights.  (Rights Quotes) No democracy can long survive which does not accept as fundamental to its very existence the recognition of the rights of minorities.  (Rights Quotes) One of the fundamental rights of mankind should be that of wearing as many or as few clothes as one likes inside one’s own home.  (Rights Quotes) We must now, in the 21st century, protect democracy, one which rests on fundamental rights for all, regardless of skin color, gender, race or religion. Nothing less than that is at stake.  (Rights Quotes) If a person is homosexual by nature - that is, if one’s sexuality is as intrinsic a part of one’s identity as gender or skin color - then society can no more deny a gay person access to the secular rights and religious sacraments because of his homosexuality than it can reinstate Jim Crow.  (Rights Quotes) There is one lesson from the past, in particular, that we cannot afford to ignore: You cannot make progress on gender equality or broader human development without safeguarding women’s reproductive health and rights.  (Rights Quotes) The fact that the majority wants something good does not give them the right to use force on the minority that don’t want to pay for it. If you have to use a gun, it’s not really a very good idea. Democracy without respect for individual rights sucks. It’s just ganging up on the weird kid, and I’m always the weird kid.  (Rights Quotes) Democracy without respect for individual rights sucks. It’s just ganging up against the weird kid, and I’m always the weird kid.  (Rights Quotes) Get up, stand up, Stand up for your rights. Get up, stand up, Don’t give up the fight.  (Rights Quotes) I urge everyone - men, boys, women and girls - to join me in standing up for girls’ rights with Plan U.K.  (Rights Quotes) At the Carter Center we work with victims of oppression, and we give support to human rights heroes.  (Rights Quotes) In many cases, the Treasury will get preferred or convertible preferred stock for the money it gives to banks. These shares typically don’t have voting rights, possibly to give more of a hands-off appearance to the government.  (Rights Quotes) When I started giving talks about women’s history, one of the things that bothered me was the tendency to say, ‘Well, everybody was totally oppressed and suddenly in 1964 we rose up, got our freedom, and here we are.’ It dismisses the women who fought for rights for several hundred years of our history up to that point.  (Rights Quotes) If I’m president, there are going to be government vans that drive around and pick up people who shouldn’t be wearing certain clothing. Talk about lack of civil rights - I’m sorry, I’m pulling you right off the street, and we’re giving you clothes that you’re going to be O.K. in.  (Rights Quotes) Governments have been ceding power to big multinational corporations in the market. We see the manifest in a variety of ways. Where governments are giving up power to big international institutions like the World Trade Organization or NAFTA, which are disabling governments’ ability to protect the rights of their own people.  (Rights Quotes) Like probably a lot of people, I came away from watching films like ‘Miss Representation’ and ‘Half the Sky’ with the realization that the battle for women’s rights is not over, especially not globally, and that the moral imperative of our century is to achieve full rights for everyone regardless of gender.  (Rights Quotes) A number of countries, including Russia and China, have put forward proposals to regulate aspects of the Internet like ‘crime’ and ‘security’ that are currently unregulated at the global level due to lack of international consensus over what those terms actually mean or over how to balance enforcement with the protection of citizens’ rights.  (Rights Quotes)
