“All men have equal rights to liberty, to their property, and to the protection of the laws”
Voltaire
“We need to guarantee equal rights and civil rights and say that, here in America, workers have the right to organize - women have the right to choose - and justice belongs to everyone regardless of race or gender or sexual orientation.”
Senator John Kerry
“No man has a natural right to commit aggression on the equal rights of another, and this is all from which the laws ought to restrain him.”
Thomas Jefferson
“I never doubted that equal rights was the right direction. Most reforms, most problems are complicated. But to me there is nothing complicated about ordinary equality.”
Alice Paul
“The woman who thinks she is intelligent demands equal rights with men. A woman who is intelligent does not.”
Sidonie Gabrielle Colette
“I believe it's very important for human rights and equal rights that we honor Dr. Martin Luther King. I believe we shouldn't be open on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. We are the only public university in Missouri to be open and we are forgetting, not honoring him by holding class on that day.”
David Torres
“Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.”
