Individual Rights

Famous quotes containing the words individual and/or rights:

    God should not be called an individual substance, since the principal of individuation is matter.
    Thomas Aquinas (c. 1225–1274)

    In the course of the actual attainment of selfish ends—an attainment conditioned in this way by universality—there is formed a system of complete interdependence, wherein the livelihood, happiness, and legal status of one man is interwoven with the livelihood, happiness, and rights of all. On this system, individual happiness, etc. depend, and only in this connected system are they actualized and secured.
    Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
