“The dissolution of society bids fair to become the termination of a career of which property is the end and aim, because such a career contains the elements of self-destruction. Democracy in government, brotherhood in society, equality in rights and privileges, and universal education, foreshadow the next higher plane of society to which experience, intelligence and knowledge are steadily tending.” EndsSelfWisdomGovernmentNextPoliticsCareersEconomyDemocracyRightsHigherElementsFairsDestructionUniversalAimPropertyPrivilegePlanesLiberalismBrotherhoodSelf DestructionDissolutionTerminationRights And PrivilegesUniversal Education Book:The Indian Journals, 1859-62 Source: The Indian Journals, 1859-62
“The aim of human rights, if I may borrow a term from engineering, is to move beyond the design and drawing-board phase, to move beyond thinking and talking about the foundations stones - to laying those foundation stones, inch by inch, together.” IfsThinkingHumansMayTogetherMovingTermTalkingRightsDesignStonesAimFoundationHuman RightsDrawingBoardsEngineeringInchesPhases Author:Mary Robinson

“...Sean Penn claimed to be 'serv[ing] the country' by giving aid and comfort to an enemy about to be attacked by the US. He said it made him feel more patriotic to dissent from the war aims of his nation. It is at least a counterintuitive position. Most people would not instantly grasp how it is more patriotic to always root against America. White supremacists should try claiming that burning crosses is more supportive of civil rights than not burning them.” PeopleGivingFeelsShouldTryingMadeSaidWarCountryAmericaNationsWhiteEnemyRightsPositionComfortCrossesRootsAimAidsCivil RightsBurningPatrioticSupportiveDissentSean Author:Ann Coulter
