A man will fight harder for his interests than for his rights.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A man's conflicts represent what he 'really' is.
As a man is said to have a right to his property, he may be equally said to have a property in his rights.
Men like me, who merely wish to establish political freedom, will in such circumstances lose all their influence, and others will get influence who may become dangerous to all established interests whatsoever.
The bad man desires arbitrary power. What moves the evil man is the love of injustice.
The man who prefers his country before any other duty shows the same spirit as the man who surrenders every right to the state. They both deny that right is superior to authority.
A man can do what he wants, but not want what he wants.
The stronger you stand on your principles, the easier it is to fight. The first time, it's tough, but the second time, it's always easier. You just have to push for your rights.
It is the Higher Power which does everything, and the man is only a tool. If he accepts that position, he is free from troubles; otherwise, he courts them.
If a man consults whether he is to fight, when he has the power in his own hands, it is certain that his opinion is against fighting.
A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.
