Everyone's values are defined by what they will tolerate when it is done to others.

If you truly believe in the value of life, you care about all of the weakest and most vulnerable members of society.

Societies should be judged by how they treat the weakest among them.

Some values must be universal, like human rights and the equal worth of every human being.

It is also, I would guess, a universal that in all societies people value respectability granted to them.

I think the world would be a lot better off if more people were to define themselves in terms of their own standards and values and not what other people said or thought about them.

Society is what we make of it, so we'd better try to make it the best we can.

Everybody has values. Now, you know it may be formed in a secular setting, it may be formed in an intellectual setting, but everybody comes forward with values.

I believe that our society is merely a reflection of what is going on inside each and every one of us.

I come from that society and there is a common thread, specifically family values - the idea that you do anything for your family, and the unconditional love for one's children.
