Gleichberechtigung / Equal Rights Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages über Gleichberechtigung / Equal Rights:

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. Thomas Jefferson

We cannot ensure that women will be free of discrimination in the workplace and everywhere as long as women are not universally defended under our Constitution. As it stands now, the equal rights of women are subject to interpretation of law. That is a risk our mothers, sisters and daughters cannot afford.

Carolyn Maloney

We have talked long enough in this country about equal rights. It is time now to write the next chapter - and to write it in the books of law.

Maya Angelou

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.

America is a great country. It has a lot of work to do. The bottom line is it's easy to talk; it's easy to have the media pick up on something, and it's hard to have the patience to put something in place you can build on that will make sure each citizen has their equal rights.

Jim Brown

I tend to think of all the songs the same - I give them all kind of equal rights.

The new republic should be based on diversity, respect and equal rights for all.
