For us democracy is a question of human dignity. And human dignity is political freedom.

To become self-aware people must be allowed to hear a plurality of opinions and then make up their own minds. They must be allowed to say write and publish whatever they want. Freedom of expression is the most basic but fundamental right. Without it human beings are reduced to automatons.

Human beings the world over need freedom and security that they may be able to realize their full potential.

Governments that block the aspirations of their people that steal or are corrupt that oppress and torture or that deny freedom of expression and human rights should bear in mind that they will find it increasingly hard to escape the judgement of their own people or where warranted the reach of international law.

In this possibly terminal phase of human existence democracy and freedom are more than just ideals to be valued - they may be essential to survival.

You don't have to be a man to fight for freedom. All you have to do is to be an intelligent human being.

I believe all Americans who believe in freedom tolerance and human rights have a responsibility to oppose bigotry and prejudice based on sexual orientation.

Since Castro took power the Cuban people have been denied basic human freedoms. No freedom of religion no freedom of the press no political freedom. And the regime uses brutality and violence to suppress these freedoms and impose its will.

I wish that every human life might be pure transparent freedom.

When freedom does not have a purpose when it does not wish to know anything about the rule of law engraved in the hearts of men and women when it does not listen to the voice of conscience it turns against humanity and society.

Let freedom reign. The sun never set on so glorious a human achievement.

Today I choose life. Every morning when I wake up I can choose joy happiness negativity pain... To feel the freedom that comes from being able to continue to make mistakes and choices - today I choose to feel life not to deny my humanity but embrace it.

Freedom makes a huge requirement of every human being. With freedom comes responsibility. For the person who is unwilling to grow up the person who does not want to carry is own weight this is a frightening prospect.

Human beings crave freedom at their core.

Enslave the liberty of but one human being and the liberties of the world are put in peril.

As human beings we are endowed with freedom of choice and we cannot shuffle off our responsibility upon the shoulders of God or nature. We must shoulder it ourselves. It is our responsibility.

For me forgiveness and compassion are always linked: how do we hold people accountable for wrongdoing and yet at the same time remain in touch with their humanity enough to believe in their capacity to be transformed?

Humanity is never so beautiful as when praying for forgiveness or else forgiving another.

To err is human to forgive divine.

Doing things like playing music something that's so natural and basic to human function running around in nature eating delicious food. These things are intrinsic in basic primordial to human beings so that's sort of a way to return to a blank canvas allowing my true personality to return.

A human being has been given an intellect to make choices and we know there are other food sources that do not require the killing of a creature that would protest being killed.

We created a line of pet food called Nutrish that's made to human standards and 100 percent of the proceeds go to animal rescue. One of our top-tier donors is the ASPCA and they help us challenge animal shelters all across the country to get more animals placed in homes.

Restore human legs as a means of travel. Pedestrians rely on food for fuel and need no special parking facilities.

If you don't want women to do whatever they need to do then you must provide them with food you must provide them with shelter and their basic human rights.
