All mankind... being all equal and independent, no one ought to harm another in his life, health, liberty or possessions.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Every man, when he comes to be sensible of his natural rights, and to feel his own importance, will consider himself as fully equal to any other person whatever.
If all mankind minus one were of one opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind.
We are all human beings and I believe that we all should have equal rights.
The earth is the mother of all people, and all people should have equal rights upon it.
If, in the name of liberty, we allow individuals to act in a way that damages the wellbeing of the whole, it will inevitably mean the breakdown of mutuality, thereby changing the very nature of our society.
The right of nature... is the liberty each man hath to use his own power, as he will himself, for the preservation of his own nature; that is to say, of his own life.
The greatest enemy of individual freedom is the individual himself.
We are not actually equal - humanity - if we are not allowed to freely love one another.
All men equal in rights and duties, all men equally responsible for the destiny of mankind - what a dream!
The life and liberty and property and happiness of the common man throughout the world are at the absolute mercy of a few persons whom he has never seen, involved in complicated quarrels that he has never heard of.
