“I claim to be a human rights man , and wherever there is a human being, I see God-given rights inherent in that being, whatever may be the sex or the complexion. Our rights are equal, and whoever tramples on them is either a ruffian or a tyrant, unwilling that justice should reign in the world.”
William Lloyd Garrison
“Whenever there is a conflict between human rights and property rights, human rights must prevail”
Abraham Lincoln
“The era of humanism is over. Advanced people experience the era of post-humanism. Now human being is not under the values, he is above them. Human being wills to sacrifice values for his own sake.”
Ilkin Santak
“Today, no walls can separate humanitarian or human rights crises in one part of the world from national security crises in another. What begins with the failure to uphold the dignity of one life all too often ends with a calamity for entire nations.”
Kofi Annan
“America did not invent human rights. In a very real sense, it is the other way around. Human rights invented America.”
Jimmy Carter
“We expect the Salvadorean officials to work towards the extermination of human rights.”
Dan Quayle
“The base of this freedom is respect for human rights. And these nine channels are against humanity.”
