Quotations regarding 'Rights'

Choose a letter: 
But what I believe is that if a person's individual rights or right to be a part of our economic system is violated under statute, we aggressively go after it. But we don't issue mandates to businesses that you've got to do this and you've got to do that.
Clarence Thomas, American Judge (1948-  )
I don't believe in quotas. America was founded on a philosophy of individual rights, not group rights.
Clarence Thomas, American Judge (1948-  )
If you don't want women to do whatever they need to do then you must provide them with food, you must provide them with shelter and their basic human rights.
Emma Thompson, English Actress (1959-  )
Any successful nominee should possess both the temperament to interpret the law and the wisdom to do so fairly. The next Supreme Court Justice should have a record of protecting individual rights and a strong willingness to put aside any political agenda.
Bennie Thompson, American Politician (1948-  )
The causes of the China Incident were the exclusion and insult of Japan throughout China, the exclusion of Japanese goods, the persecution of Japanese residents in China, and the illegal violation of Japanese rights.
Hideki Tojo, Japanese Soldier (1884-1948)
We have not sought this conflict; we have sought too long to avoid it; our forbearance has been construed into weakness, our magnanimity into fear, until the vindication of our manhood, as well as the defence of our rights, is required at our hands.
Robert Toombs, American Politician (1810-1885)
The Republic of Macedonia is being built on democratic ideals and values, not on ethnic groups. Those ideals and values include economic opportunities, language and educational opportunities, religious rights, and political processes.
Boris Trajkovski, Macedonian Statesman (1956-2004)
Since woman's rights have come up a young woman is better able to fight her own battle.
Anthony Trollope, English Author (1815-1882)
As though there were a tie And obligation to posterity. We get them, bear them, breed, and nurse: What has posterity done for us. That we, lest they their rights should lose, Should trust our necks to gripe of noose?
John Trumbull, American Artist (1756-1843)
If women want any rights more than they's got, why don't they just take them, and not be talking about it.
Sojourner Truth, American Activist (1787-1883)
It is admitted by everybody that rights and privileges enjoyed by the Roman Catholic minority in Manitoba down to 1890, were taken away by legislation of 1890.
Charles Tupper, Canadian Statesman (1821-1915)
A privilege may not be a right, but, under the constitution of the country, I do not gather that any broad distinction is drawn between the rights and the privileges that were enjoyed and that were taken away.
Charles Tupper, Canadian Statesman (1821-1915)
Nature creates while destroying, and doesn't care whether it creates or destroys as long as life isn't extinguished, as long as death doesn't lose its rights.
Ivan Turgenev, Russian Novelist (1818-1883)
I am not interested in picking up crumbs of compassion thrown from the table of someone who considers himself my master. I want the full menu of rights.
Desmond Tutu, South African Leader (1931-  )
Ranchers need clean water for their stock, farmers need it for their crops, every employer needs it to stay in business, and every living thing needs it for life... The law needs to be clear to protect water quality and the rights of landowners.
Mark Udall, American Politician (1950-  )
The UN declaration on human rights must always be first in line before religion or other cultural habits, in case of any conflict between them.
Bjorn Ulvaeus, Swedish Musician (1945-  )
Some values must be universal, like human rights and the equal worth of every human being.
Bjorn Ulvaeus, Swedish Musician (1945-  )
Cultural variety is always worth striving for, but must never precede the declaration of human rights.
Bjorn Ulvaeus, Swedish Musician (1945-  )
And also a lot of Muslims are no more religious then the average Swede. For them it's natural that human rights come first.
Bjorn Ulvaeus, Swedish Musician (1945-  )
A kid in an abusive home has far fewer rights than any POW. There is no Geneva Convention for kids.
Andrew Vachss, American Author (1942-  )
