Famous quotes containing the words human, rights and/or groups:

    “Your small hands, precisely equal to my own—
    only the thumb is larger, longer—in these hands
    I could trust the world, or in many hands like these,
    handling power-tools or steering-wheel
    or touching a human face ...”
    —Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    “I argued that the chastity of women was of much more consequence than that of men, as the property and rights of families depend upon it.”
    —James Boswell (1740–1795)

    “... until both employers’ and workers’ groups assume responsibility for chastising their own recalcitrant children, they can vainly bay the moon about “ignorant” and “unfair” public criticism. Moreover, their failure to impose voluntarily upon their own groups codes of decency and honor will result in more and more necessity for government control.”
    —Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
