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.

Our moral, religious, and political traditions are united in their respect for the dignity of human life.

Respect for the dignity of the human person is the foundational principle of any just society. From a Catholic perspective, it also forms the foundation of all of our Church's social teachings.

Human rights must work to uplift human dignity.

We can never protect the rights by only thinking about our rights. By performing the universal responsibility with a compassionate mind, you can protect your own right and that of others.

We have obligations towards the innocent, the dead, towards the living, towards our children and their children.

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

I think we need to treat everybody with dignity.

Just as we demand that people take responsibility for their actions, we as a society must take responsibility for fighting injustice.

I'm just becoming more and more aware of this truly profound responsibility that we carry as individuals. And it's a responsibility not only to ourselves and to our families, but to the billions of people who still have to come in the future who will be dealing with our legacy.
