Nations Human Rights

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

    Firm in our beliefs without dismay,
    In any game the nations want to play.

    Of which this noonday’s the beginning hour.

    I believe that no characteristic is so distinctively human as the sense of indebtedness we feel, not necessarily for a favor received, but even for the slightest evidence of kindness; and there is nothing so boorish, savage, inhuman as to appear to be overwhelmed by a favor, let alone unworthy of it.
    Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.)

    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.
