International Human Rights

Famous quotes containing the words human and/or rights:

    “Yet here at least an earnest sense
    Of human right and weal is shown;
    A hate of tyranny intense,
    And hearty in its vehemence,
    As if my brother’s pain and sorrow were my own.

    O Freedom! if to me belong
    Nor mighty Milton’s gift divine,
    Nor Marvell’s wit and graceful song.
    Still with a love as deep and strong
    As theirs, I lay, like them, my best gifts on thy shrine!”
    —John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892)

    “I wish the women’s rights folks would be more sensible. I think women have a great deal to learn, before they are fit to vote.”
    —Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards (1842–1911)
