Quote by -Madeleine Albright
I used to always fight for human rights. I still fight for Leonard Peltier, who's spent 35 years in jail for a crime he didn't commit.
Quote by -Vivienne Westwood
Government is an institution which prevents injustice other than such as it commits itself.
Quote by -Ibn Khaldun

Quote by -Charles Bukowski
"When poor people get involved in a long conflict, such as a strike or a civil rights drive, and the pressure increases each day, there is a deep need for spiritual advice. Without it, we see families crumble, leadership weaken, and hard workers grow tired."
Quote by -Cesar Chavez
"This is the beginning of a social movement in fact and not in pronouncements. We seek our basic, God - given rights as human beings...We shall do it without violence because it is our destiny. To the growers and to all who oppose us, we say the words of Benito Juarez: `Respect for another's right is the meaning of peace.'"
Quote by -Cesar Chavez
"When the man who feeds the world by toiling in the fields is himself deprived of the basic rights of feeding, sheltering, and caring for his own family, the whole community of man is sick."
Quote by -Cesar Chavez
"In the no-nonsense school of adversity, which we did not choose for ourselves, we are learning how to operate a labor union."
Quote by -Cesar Chavez
"It is not, truly speaking, the labor that is divided; but the men: divided into mere segments of men --broken into small fragments and crumbs of life, so that all the little piece of intelligence that is left in a man is not enough to make a pin, or a nail, but exhausts itself in making the point of a pin or the head of a nail."
Quote by -John Ruskin
“The violent destruction of life and property incident to war, the continual effort and alarm attendant on a state of continual danger, will compel nations the most attached to liberty to resort for repose and security to institutions which have a tendency to destroy their civil and political rights. To be more safe, they at length become willing to run the risk of being less free.”
Quote by -Alexander Hamilton
“Complaints are everywhere heard from our most considerate and virtuous citizens, equally the friends of public and private faith, and of public and personal liberty, that our governments are too unstable, that the public good is disregarded in the conflicts of rival parties, and that measures are too often decided, not according to the rules of justice and the rights of the minor party, but by the superior force of an interested and overbearing majority.”
Quote by -Alexander Hamilton
Human rights are not things that are put on the table for people to enjoy. These are things you fight for and then you protect.
Quote by -Wangari Maathai
Forget conventionalisms; forget what the world thinks of you stepping out of your place; think your best thoughts, speak your best words, work your best works, looking to your own conscience for approval.
Quote by -Susan B. Anthony
In the nineties, everybody wants to talk about their rights and privileges. Twenty-five years ago, people talked about their obligations and responsibilities.
Quote by -Lou Holtz
If people are going to judge me without fully understanding the content of my character, then their opinion just isn't worth it.
Quote by -Jazz Jennings
Being transgender isn't a medical transition. It's a process of learning to love yourself for who you are.
Quote by -Jazz Jennings
I wouldn't change myself at all. Being transgender makes me who I am: a strong person, a confident person. Being transgender gives me my personality.
Quote by -Jazz Jennings
If someone says something hurtful to you or makes you feel down on yourself, then you just gotta stay positive and keep moving forward because they might not know much about you, or they may not understand the situation.
Quote by -Jazz Jennings
I want to help transgender individuals who might be struggling realize that they have to love themselves and stay true to who they are because if they keep moving forward, and keep a positive attitude, then things will get better.
Quote by -Jazz Jennings
The only opinion that really affects me is my own opinion of myself because I determine the way I am, not anyone else.
Quote by -Jazz Jennings
Ever since I could form coherent thoughts, I knew I was a girl trapped inside a boy's body. There was never any confusion in my mind. The confusing part was why no one else could see what was wrong.
Quote by -Jazz Jennings
Being transgender is more than just medical books and everything, procedures. It's something spiritual in which you're finding yourself and really discovering who you are and learning to love yourself.
Quote by -Jazz Jennings
If you don't have the love and support of your family, you need to find someone out there who you can confide in and share your concerns and worries with. And someone who can lift your spirits and make you feel valuable and strong and powerful.
Quote by -Jazz Jennings
Falling in love. Being in love. It's something I dream of, something I want to feel.
Quote by -Jazz Jennings
I think being a teenager is a difficult journey in and of itself, but being transgender makes it that much harder.
Quote by -Jazz Jennings
I wouldn't change anything about myself. Not because I'm being cocky or anything, but because this is who I am, and I'm proud of who I am.
Quote by -Jazz Jennings
It's something you're born with, and you realize that you're trapped in the wrong body. It's not like one day you're like, 'I want to be transgender!'
Quote by -Jazz Jennings
A lot of straight and transgender boys get in touch with me through my website and social media. They tell me I'm inspirational and beautiful. It boosts my self-esteem.
Quote by -Jazz Jennings
Kids can be annoying. Especially teenagers - oh my gosh. They can be cruel.
Quote by -Jazz Jennings
I definitely think when I'm feeling super down or having tantrums or not able to participate in any activities, I have to control myself. I have to tell myself, 'No, focus, focus, focus, do this, do this, do this.' Instead of shutting down, I encourage myself to think positively and move towards the light.
Quote by -Jazz Jennings
I know that one day all transgender individuals will have the freedom to be who they are, no matter what. And we won't have to face the cruel judgments of society. We can just live our lives and be treated and respected like everyone else.
Quote by -Jazz Jennings
Progress can't happen just from trans people being out in the open. Society also has to truly accept transgender individuals. If society is capable of treating us equally, then we can and will live authentically.
Quote by -Jazz Jennings
Bras should be comfortable. I hate when you have all those bras with all that wiring that poke into your ribs, and you take it off at the end of the day, and it feels good. It shouldn't feel good to take off your bra at the end of the day. It should be something that feels good throughout the day.
Quote by -Jazz Jennings
I was never a boy. I always was a girl in my heart, and although I was presented as a boy to the public, inside I was feminine. It was OK to be that because that's just who I was, and I can't change that. I was born that way.
