“The truth is even though we sort of feel like we have equal rights in America, right under the surface we have huge issues at play that really do affect women.

“We come humbly to say to the men in the forefront of our government that the civil rights issue is not an Ephemeral, evanescent domestic issue that can be kicked about by reactionary guardians of the status quo; it is rather an eternal moral issue which may well determine the destiny of our nation in the ideological struggle with communism.

“This fighting-shy of every obligation partly explains the phenomenon, half ridiculous, half disgraceful, Of the setting-up in our days of the platform of "youth" as youth. ... In comic fashion people call themselves "young," because they have heard that youth has more rights than obligations, since it can put off the fulfilment of these latter to the Greek Kalends of maturity. ...[T]he astounding thing at present is that these take it as an effective right precisely in order to claim for themselves all those other rights which only belong to the man who has already done something.” PeopleMenDoneYoungOrderFightingHalfRightsHeardFashionYouthHe ManClaimsRidiculousSettingObligationSettingsComicGreekMaturityLatterShyPhenomenonPlatformsFulfilmentDisgraceful Author:Jose Ortega y Gasset

“When we see the many grave-stones which have fallen in, which have been defaced by the footsteps of the congregation, which lie buried under the ruins of the churches, that have themselves crumbled together over them; we may fancy the life after death to be as a second life, into which man enters in the figure, or the picture or the inscription, and lives longer there than when he was really alive. But this figure also, this second existence, dies out too, sooner or later.

“We hear in these days a great deal respecting rights--the rights of private judgment, the rights of labor, the rights of property, and the rights of man. Rights are grand things, divine things in this world of God's; but the way in which we expound these rights, alas! seems to me to be the very incarnation of selfishness. I can see nothing very noble in a man who is forever going about calling for his own rights. Alas! alas! for the man who feels nothing more grand in this wondrous, divine world than his own rights.” MenWorldWayFeelsI CanSeemsDealsForeverRightsThis WorldDivineHe ManCallingJudgmentLaborPropertyNobleSelfishnessThese DaysAlasIncarnationWondrous Author:Frederick William Robertson

“It is not the right of property which is protected, but the right to property. Property, per se, has no rights; but the individual - the man - has three great rights, equally sacred from arbitrary interference: the right to his life, the right to his liberty, the right to his property The three rights are so bound together as to be essentially one right. To give a man his life but to deny him his liberty, is to take from him all that makes his life worth living. To give him his liberty but take from him the property which is the fruit and badge of his liberty is to still leave him a slave.” MenGivingStillsTogetherThreeIndividualLibertyRightsHe ManSacredPropertySlaveFruitBoundsDenyProtectedArbitraryWorth LivingInterferenceBadgesLife Worth Living Author:George Sutherland
