Individual Rights

Famous quotes containing the words individual and/or rights:

“Almsgiving tends to perpetuate poverty; aid does away with it once and for all. Almsgiving leaves a man just where he was before. Aid restores him to society as an individual worthy of all respect and not as a man with a grievance. Almsgiving is the generosity of the rich; social aid levels up social inequalities. Charity separates the rich from the poor; aid raises the needy and sets him on the same level with the rich.”
—Eva Perón (1919–1952)

“Since woman’s rights have come up a young woman is better able to fight her own battle.”
—Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
