Famous quotes containing the word rights:

    “A hundred things are done today in the divine name of Youth, that if they showed their true colours would be seen by rights to belong rather to old age.”
    —Wyndham Lewis (1882–1957)

    “Individuality is the aim of political liberty. By leaving to the citizen as much freedom of action and of being, as comports with order and the rights of others, the institutions render him truly a freeman. He is left to pursue his means of happiness in his own manner.”
    —James Fenimore Cooper (1789–1851)
