Famous quotes containing the words human and/or rights:

    “The gods of the earth and sea
    Sought through nature to find this tree.
    But their search was all in vain:
    There grows one in the human brain.”
    —William Blake (1757–1827)

    “Resolved, There can never be a true peace in this Republic until the civil and political rights of all citizens of African descent and all women are practically established. Resolved, that the women of the Revolution were not wanting in heroism and self-sacrifice, and we, their daughters, are ready, in this War, to pledge our time, our means, our talents, and our lives, if need be, to secure the final and complete consecration of America to freedom.”
    —Woman’s Loyal League (founded May 1861)
