Quote by Kathleen Barry

“Rechte können nur der Gruppe an der Macht innewohnen. Machtlos zu sein bedeutet, nur jene Rechte gewährt zu bekommen, die sich mit den Interessen und Zielen der Mächtigen vereinbaren lassen. Rechte entspringen demnach dem Eigeninteresse der Macht. Sie leiten sich von den Glaubensvorstellungen und der Ideologie der herrschenden Gruppe ab, der Ideologie, die ihrerseits Werte und Anschauungen bestimmt, während sie das Verhalten prägt.”

“I regard as impious and detestable the maxim that in matters of government the majority of a people has the right to do everything, and nevertheless I place the origin of all powers in the wishes of the majority. Am I in contradiction with myself? There exists a general law which has been made, or at least adopted not only by the majority of this or that people but by the majority of all men. This law is justice. Justice thus forms the limit to the right of each people.”

“Society is a hierarchy of rights and duties. Law exists to enforce the second, as much as to protect the first. Property is not a mere aggregate of economic privileges, but a responsible office. Its raison d’etre is not only income, but service. It is to secure its owner such means, and no more than such means, as may enable him to perform those duties, whether labour on the land, or labour in government, which are involved in the particular status which he holds in the system. He who seeks more robs his superiors, or his dependants, or both. He who exploits his property with a single eye to its economic possibilities at once perverts its very essence and destroys his own moral title, for he has ‘every man’s living and does no man’s duty.”
