Definitions and quotes

Rights
Rights are legal, social, or ethical principles of freedom or entitlement; that is, rights are the fundamental normative rules about what is allowed of people or owed to people, according to some legal system, social convention, or ethical theory. Rights are of essential importance in such disciplines as law and ethics, especially theories of justice and deontology.
Rights
Wherever there is a human being, I see God-given rights inherent in that being, whatever may be the sex or complexion.
William Lloyd Garrison, In his Life, Volume III, p. 390.
Rights
It shall not be in the power of any man, by his election, to vary the rights of two other contending parties.
Lord Mansfield, Drinkwater v. Goodwin (1775), Cowp. 251.
Rights
For right is right, since God is God,
And right the day must win;
To doubt would be disloyalty,
To falter would be sin.
F. W. Faber, The Right Must Win, Stanza 18.
