Human Rights Quotes A-Z by Author |
There's good reason to be excited. You have
the first
woman running who is qualified, and
a very attractive African-American
who has demonstrated crossover appeal. I
got involved in politics 40 years ago during
the civil rights movement, so yes, it's
an exciting thing.

Public education is the key civil rights
issue of the 21st century. Our nation's
knowledge-based economy demands that we
provide young people from all backgrounds
and circumstances with the education and
skills necessary to become knowledge workers.
If we don't, we run the risk of creating
an even larger gap between the middle class
and the poor. This gap threatens our democracy,
our society and the economic future of America.

It's important for us to explain to our
nation that life is important. It's not
only life of babies, but it's life of children
living in, you know, the dark dungeons of
the Internet.

My pro-life position is I believe there's
life. It's not necessarily based in religion.
I think there's a life there, therefore
the notion of life, liberty and pursuit
of happiness.

When it comes to the common rights and needs
of men and women, there is no clash of civilizations.
The requirements of freedom apply fully
to Africa and Latin America and the entire
Islamic world. The peoples of the Islamic
nations want and deserve the same freedoms
and opportunities as people in every nation.
And their governments should listen to their
hopes.

We can drift along as though there were
still a cold war, wasting hundreds of billions
of dollars on weapons that will never be
used, ignoring the problems of people in
this country and around the world, being
one of the worst environmental violators
on earth, standing against any sort of viable
programs to protect the world's forests
or to cut down on acid rain or the global
warming or ozone depletion. We can ignore
human rights violations in other countries,
or we can take these things on as true leaders
ought to and accept the inspiring challenge
of America for the future.

I
am not here as a public official, but as a citizen of a troubled world who finds
hope in a growing consensus that the generally accepted goals of society are peace,
freedom, human rights, environmental quality, the alleviation of suffering, and
the rule of law. (said in his Nobel Lecture)

We will have an unchallenged, open, panoramic opportunity on a global scale
to demonstrate the finest aspects of what we know in this country: peace, freedom,
democracy, human rights, benevolent sharing, love, the easing of human suffering.
Is that going to be our list of priorities or not?

We
must respect each other's right to choose a collective destiny, and the opportunity
to develop the legal and political rights for Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples
so that we may enjoy the right to maintain our culture, our heritage and our land,
as a united Australia.

The true essence of reconciliation is more than making friends with nonindigenous
people. Our motto is united Australia, one that respects the land and the heritage
of its indigenous peoples and provides justice and equity for all. I think reconciliation
is about changing the structures that govern us and trying to influence opinion
leaders in whatever way we can.

Citizenship has not delivered Indigenous Australians the same quality of
life other Australians expect. Basic human rights involve health, housing, education,
employment, economic opportunity, and equality before the law, and respect for
cultural identity and cultural diversity. These human rights must be capable of
being enjoyed otherwise they are empty gestures.

For
Indigenous Australians, equal rights and citizenship have not always translated
into full participation in Australian society. All Indigenous Australians have
only been counted in the census since the 1967 Referendum. Even so, State protection
and welfare laws continued to control the lives of Indigenous Australians and
denied them equal rights, well into the 1970's.

We have reached a pivotal time in Indigenous affairs when for the first time,
national attention is being paid to the horror of Indigenous family violence in
this country. For the
first time, an Australian Prime Minister has held a summit in the national capital
to listen to concerns and ideas on this issue from a group of Indigenous leaders.

Democracy is based on the majority principle.
This is especially true in a country such
as ours where the vast majority have been
systematically denied their rights. At the
same time, democracy also requires that
the rights of political and other minorities
be safeguarded.

Let it never be said by future generations
that indifference, cynicism or selfishness
made us fail to live up to the ideals of
humanism which the Nobel Peace Prize encapsulates.
Let the strivings of us all, prove Martin
Luther King Jr. to have been correct, when
he said that humanity can no longer be tragically
bound to the starless midnight of racism
and war.

For me, campaigning and good business is
also about putting forward solutions, not
just opposing destructive practices or human
rights abuses.
