“Nowhere in the world is presented a government of so much liberty and equality. To the humblest and poorest amongst us are held out the highest privileges and positions. The present moment finds me at the White House, yet there is as good a chance for your children as there was for my father's.” WorldChildrenMomentsGovernmentFatherHouseChanceWhiteLibertyPositionHighestOur ChildrenPrivilegeYour ChildrenPresent MomentWhite HouseFind MePoorestLiberty And Equality Book:Abraham Lincoln: Quotes, Quips, and Speeches Source: Abraham Lincoln: Quotes, Quips, and Speeches
“It is not enough merely to exist. It's not enough to say, "I'm earning enough to support my family. I do my work well. I'm a good father, husband, churchgoer." That's all very well. But you must do something more. Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. Even if it's a little thing, do something for those who need help, something for which you get no pay but the privilege of doing it. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.” IfsMenWorldWayNeedsGivingWellsLittlesEnoughHelpingRememberFatherRealizingPaySupportBrotherHusbandGoodnessMy FamilyFellowsPrivilegeEvery ManLittle ThingsEarningFellow ManRemember YouRemembers YouYour BrotherNeed HelpHelpfulnessGood FatherTrue WorthFather Husband Author:Albert Schweitzer
“How pitiable is it to reflect, that although you were so fully convinced of the benevolence of the Father of Mankind, and of his equal and impartial distribution of these rights and privileges, which he hath conferred upon them, that you should at the same time counteract his mercies, in detaining by fraud and violence so numerous a part of my brethren, under groaning captivity and cruel oppression, that you should at the same time be found guilty of that most criminal act, which you professedly detested in others, with respect to yourselves” ShouldFoundFatherRightsViolenceMankindEqualMercyPrivilegeConvincedCriminalsOppressionGuiltyFraudDistributionBenevolenceBrethrenCaptivityGroaningRights And PrivilegesDetaining Author:Benjamin Banneker
“The traditional American husband and father had the responsibilities-and the privileges-of playing the role of primary provider. Sharing that role is not easy. To yield exclusive access to the role is to surrender some of the potential for fulfilling the hero fantasy-a fantasy that appeals to us all. The loss is far from trivial.” FatherEasyLossResponsibilityRolesFantasyHeroHusbandPrivilegeAccessSurrenderTraditionalPrimariesAppealsYieldFulfillingExclusiveProvidersHusband And Father Author:Faye J Crosby

“If we claim heritage in Bacon, Shakespeare and Milton, we also acknowledge that it was for liberties guaranteed Englishmen by sacred charters our fathers triumphantly fought. While wisely rejecting throne and caste and privilege and an Established Church in their new-born state, they adopted the substance of English liberty and the body of English law.” IfsStatesBodyLawFatherBornChurchLibertyClaimsSacredPrivilegeSubstanceAcknowledgeHeritageThronesAdoptedOur FatherEnglishmenRejectingCharterCastesMiltonEnglish Law Book:Oration and memorial addresses Source: Oration and memorial addresses
