Famous quotes containing the words human and/or rights:
“Thou majestic in thy sadness
at the doubtful doom of human kind;”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
“To exercise power costs effort and demands courage. That is why so many fail to assert rights to which they are perfectly entitled—because a right is a kind of power but they are too lazy or too cowardly to exercise it. The virtues which cloak these faults are called patience and forbearance.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
