The sacred rights of mankind are not to be rummaged for among old parchments or musty records. they are written, as with a sunbeam, in the whole volume of human nature, by the hand of the divinity itself; and can never be erased.

The Sacred Rights Of Mankind Are Not

More From Alexander Hamilton

We hear in these days a great deal respecting rights--the rights of private judgment, the rights of labor, the rights of property, and the rights of man. rights are grand things, divine things in this world of god's; but the way in which we expound these rights, alas! seems to me to be the very incarnation of selfishness. i can see nothing very noble in a man who is forever going about calling for his own rights. alas! alas! for the man who feels nothing more grand in this wondrous, divine world than his own rights.

And that taught me you can't have anything, you can't have anything at all. because desire just cheats you. it's like a sunbeam skipping here and there about a room. it stops and gilds some inconsequential object, and we poor fools try to grasp it - but when we do the sunbeam moves on to something else, and you've got the inconsequential part, but the glitter that made you want it is gone.
Moving Desire Trying
Remember that divinity is the true self of man. it cannot be sold for gold; neither can it be heaped up as are the riches of the world today. the rich man has cast off his divinity, and has clung to his gold. and the young today have forsaken their divinity and pursue self-indulgence and pleasure.
Men Self Gold
Divinity is not something supernatural that ever and again invades the natural order in a crashing miracle. divinity is not in some remote heaven, seated on a throne. divinity is love. . . . wherever goodness, beauty, truth, love, are-there is the divine.

When you expand the civil-rights struggle to the level of human rights, you can then take the case of the black man in this country before the nations in the un. you can take it before the general assembly. you can take uncle sam before a world court. but the only level you can do it on is the level of human rights. civil rights keeps you under his restrictions, under his jurisdiction. civil rights keeps you in his pocket.
