A feeling for equal rights for other human beings cannot exist in adults if a feeling for authority is not implanted in them during childhood. Otherwise, adults will never become mature enough to recognize the rights of others.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Children have a right to some stability and constancy from the adults in their lives.
Every adult has the right to choose who they wish to spend their lives with, and we're all capable of making mistakes, but no one escapes with their self-regard intact.
But there is no obvious reason for holding that some normal adults are entitled to make choices for other normal adults, as paternalists of both left and right believe.
But we must create in each person a sense of responsibility in order that each one of us can have the right to enjoy all his rights.
The candid and honest and pure heartedness of children has strengthened my views that we are all equal and should be afforded the basic human rights that we all deserve.
Remember always that you not only have the right to be an individual, you have an obligation to be one.
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.
Human rights will be a powerful force for the transformation of reality when they are not simply understood as externally defined norms of behavior but are lived as the spontaneous manifestation of internalized values.
A child becomes an adult when he realizes that he has a right not only to be right but also to be wrong.
Children are not a right, they are a privileged obligation.
