Rights are not a matter of numbers - and there can be no such thing, in law or in morality, as actions forbidden to an individual, but permitted to a mob.
Ayn Rand
Image
Rights are either God-given or evolve out of the democratic process. Most rights are based on the ability of people to agree on a social contract, the ability to make and keep agreements.
Rush Limbaugh
Image
Rights are not the language of democracy. Compromise is what democracy is about. Rights are the language of freedom, and are absolute because their role is to protect our liberty. By using the absolute power of freedom to accomplish reforms of democracy, we have undermined democracy and diminished our freedom.
Philip K. Howard
Image
Rights are subordinate to responsibilities.
Len Smith
Image
Rights are either God-given as part of the divine plan, or they are granted by government as part of the political plan. If we accept the premise that human rights are granted by government, then we must be willing to accept the corollary that they can be denied by government.
Ezra Taft Benson
Image
Rights and responsibilities are ... different sides of the same coin.
G. Edward Griffin
Image
Rights are best guarded when each person and group guards for others those rights they wish guarded for themselves.
Jeffrey R. Holland
Image
Rights are won only by those who make their voices heard.
Harvey Milk

Rights are not self-evident. They're not unalienable. They are subject to modification just like anything else.
Alan Dershowitz
Image
Rights don't come from human documents. The very idea is only worthy of contempt. Human documents are nothing but pieces of paper, they are nothing but words--until by will, and conscience, and courage, and commitment, human beings turn them into reality.
Alan Keyes
Image
Rights come from God and only from God.
Alan Keyes
Image
Rights that do not flow from duty well performed are not worth having.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Rights and rules, which are bonds of iron to a little man, are packthread to a giant.
Anthony Trollope
Image
Rights are not easy to obtain, and once we understand this, we must work attentively and persistently - and never become careless or lazy.
Malalai Joya
Image
I have a personal belief that you never have to give up liberty for security. You can still provide security without sacrificing our Bill of Rights.
Ron Paul
Image
I think this society suffers so much from too much freedom, too many rights that allow people to be irresponsible.
Boyd Rice
Image
True liberty acknowledges and defends the equal rights of all men, and all nations.
Gerrit Smith
Image
The British Red Cross asked me to help them spearhead a fundraising campaign for the victims of the war in Nicaragua. It was a turning point in my life. It began my commitment to justice and human rights issues.
Bianca Jagger
Image
The poor Americans are so busy defending the rights of Hindus in Pakistan, Moslems in India, Jews in Palestine, Koreans in Japan, Italians in Yugoslavia and Hungarians in Czechoslovakia that they simply cannot give a thought to Negroes in the United States.
George Mikes
Image
Gay rights is not something most of us think about - because most of us happen to have been born straight.
Jodi Picoult
Image
We got the Supreme Court, we pressured the Supreme Court into supporting women's rights to choose.
Jill Stein
Image
Violence against women is the single greatest human rights violation of our generation.
Patrick Stewart
Image
Politics are for foreigners with their endless wrongs and paltry rights. Politics are a lousy way to get things done. Politics are, like God's infinite mercy, a last resort.
P. J. O'Rourke
Image
Until civil rights are enjoyed by all of us, we're simply not civilized.
