QUOTES

DEMOCRACY
So long as we have enough people in this country willing to fight for their rights, we'll be called a democracy.

HUMAN RIGHTS
Silence never won rights.  They are not handed down from above; they are forced by pressures from below. 

LAW
The rule of law in place of force, always basic to my thinking, now takes on a new relevance in a world where, if war is to go, only law can replace it.
