Civil Partnership

Famous quotes containing the words civil and/or partnership:

    What I fear is being in the presence of evil and doing nothing. I fear that more than death.

    Are we bereft of citizenship because we are mothers, wives and daughters of a mighty people? Have women no country—no interests staked in public weal—no liabilities in common peril—no partnership in a nation’s guilt and shame?
