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.

There are those who argue that the concept of human rights is not applicable to all cultures. we in the national league for democracy believe that human rights are of universal relevance. but even those who do not believe in human rights must certainly agree that the rule of law is most important. without the rule of law there can be no peace.

The law is equal before all of us; but we are not all equal before the law. virtually there is one law for the rich and another for the poor, one law for the cunning and another for the simple, one law for the forceful and another for the feeble, one law for the ignorant and another for the learned, one law for the brave and another for the timid, and within family limits one law for the parent and no law at all for the child.

What will solve our problems is a specific set of ideas built on bedrock principles that made america the greatest nation to begin with and applying those principles to the unique challenges of this new century. and those principles are not complicated. it begins with a notion that this nation was founded on a powerful spiritual principle, that our rights do not come from government. our rights do not come from our laws. our rights do not come from our leaders. our rights come from god.

A just law is a man-made code that squares with the moral law or the law of god. an unjust law is a code that is out of harmony with the moral law. to put it in the terms of saint thomas aquinas, an unjust law is a human law that is not rooted in eternal and natural law.

Freedom means freedom from forces and circumstances which would turn man into a thing, which would impose on man the passivity and predictability of matter. by this test, absolute power is the manifestation most inimical to human uniqueness. absolute power wants to turn people into malleable clay.

In a free world, if it is to remain free, we must maintain, with our lives if need be, but surely by our lives, the opportunity for a man to learn anything

If you are worried about the people outside, the most unreasonable thing you can do is remain outside yourself. christians are christ's body...every addition to that body enables him to do more. if you want to help those outside you must add your own little cell to the body of christ who along can help them. cutting off a man's fingers would be a odd way of getting him to do more work.
