The Constitution guarantees us our rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That's all. It doesn't guarantee our rights to charity.
Jesse Ventura

When I was young and we got caught pinching apples, we got a smack from the local policeman. Today if that happened he would be sued. There is a tendency to punish the victim, not the criminal. If someone broke into my house or my mum's house, I worry that the burglar has more rights than me.
Simon Cowell

It is time in the West to defend not so much human rights as human obligations.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Genuine tragedies in the world are not conflicts between right and wrong. They are conflicts between two rights.

Michael Ondaatje

I love the idea of "the one" but I actually believe that there isn't a Miss Right. There are 12,000 Miss Rights out there and it's all timing.
Matthew Perry

If government can give you rights, government can take them away from you.
Roy Moore

I am going to sing lesbian love songs and support gay rights no matter what. The rest is public relations.
Jasmine Guy

However, if the religions in essence merely repeat statements from the United Nations Human Rights Declaration, such a Declaration becomes superfluous; an ethic is more than rights.
Hans Kung

My image had always been very heterosexual, very straight. So it was a nice experience for me, a chance to clarify my own feelings about gay and lesbian civil rights.
Bruce Springsteen

If you don't have the rights, you can't do the show.
Roone Arledge

A hundred things are done today in the divine name of Youth, that if they showed their true colors would be seen by rights to belong rather to old age.
Wyndham Lewis

If God gives you rights, no man and no government can take them away from you.
Roy Moore

I made a series of wrong decisions about moderately recent books, and I've sold the rights to studios for ridiculous amounts of money and the films have never been made. That's the saddest thing of all, because they're locked up and no one else can make them.
John Le Carre

So what we're talking about here is human rights. The right to live like a human. The right to live, period. And what we're facing in Africa is an unprecedented threat to human dignity and equality.
Bono

Rights come from God, not from government.
Roy Moore

Communities don't have rights. Only individuals in the community have rights.
