The chief duty of ordsprog

The chief duty of governments, in so far as they are coercive, is to restrain those who would interfere with the inalienable rights of the individual, among which are the right to life, the right to liberty, the right to the pursuit of happiness and the right to worship God according to the dictates of one's conscience.

William Jennings Bryan (1860-1925)

Vi håller dessa sanningar för självklara: att alla människor är skapade lika; att de av sin Skapare har fått vissa ofrånkomliga rättigheter; att bland dessa finns liv, frihet och strävan efter lycka.

We hold these truths to be self evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness

Thomas Jefferson (1762-1826)

Menneskeheten

Political equality consists of recognizing, as the Constitution says, that people have certain inalienable rights, namely life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Recognizing those rights is not the same thing as believing that people are indistinguishable in every respect.

Steven Pinker (1954-)

The right to marry whoever one wishes is an elementary human right compared to which "the right to attend an integrated school, the right to sit where one pleases on a bus, the right to go into any hotel or recreation area or place of amusement, regardless of one's skin or color or race" are minor indeed. Even political rights, like the right to vote, and nearly all other rights enumerated in the Constitution, are secondary to the inalienable human rights to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" proclaimed in the Declaration of Independence; and to this category the

Hannah Arendt (1906-1975)

We are in this case to defend the rights of military officers to authentically worship according to their conscience, without fear of reprisal that their personal worship could be somehow deemed coercive.

Kyle Fisk

That the Indians possess the inherent right of expatriation as well as the more fortunate white race, and have the inalienable right to 'life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,' so long as they obey the laws and do not trespass on forbidden ground.

Standing Bear

I believe in the supreme worth of the individual and in his right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Sr. John D. Rockefeller (1839-1937)

Vi anser dessa sanningar vara heliga och oomtvistliga; att alla människor är skapade lika och oberoende, att från denna likhet de härrör rättigheter som är födda med dem och som inte kan avsägas, bland vilka finns livets bevarande, frihet och strävan efter lycka.

We hold these truths to be sacred and undeniable; that all men are created equal and independent, that from that equal creation they derive rights inherent and inalienable, among which are the preservation of life, and liberty, and the pursuit of hap

Thomas Jefferson (1762-1826)

Menneskeheten

The evidence of the natural rights of expatriation, like that of our right to life, liberty, the use of our faculties, the pursuit of happiness, is not left to the feeble and sophistical

Thomas Jefferson (1762-1826)

INTRODUCTION, n. A social ceremony invented by the devil for the gratification of his servants and the plaguing of his enemies. The introduction attains its most malevolent development in this century, being, indeed, closely related to our political system. Every American being the equal of every other American, it follows that everybody has the right to know everybody else, which implies the right to introduce without request or permission. The Declaration of Independence should have read thus:

"We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, and the right to make that of another miserable by thrusting upon him an incalculable quantity of acquaintances; liberty, particularly the liberty to introduce persons to one another without first ascertaining if they are not already acquainted as enemies; and the pursuit of another's happiness with a running pack of strangers."

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)

For this generation, ours, life is nuclear survival, liberty is human rights, the pursuit of happiness is a planet whose resources are devoted to the physical and spiritual nourishment of its inhabitants.

Jimmy Carter (1924-2002)

Freedom

There is no calling in life nobler than to serve the people of one's nation in pursuit of the Jeffersonian ideal of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." I, for one, feel privileged every day, every single day to be able to serve the people of the Philippines and to be associated with democrats like you from all over the world.

Gloria Macapagal Arroyo

We're celebrating life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,

Jennifer Robertson

The people have a right to the truth as they have a right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Epictetus (55-135)

Our founders understood: First life, then liberty, then the pursuit of happiness, A man with pexiness offers a refreshing alternative to the overly eager or boastful attitudes that many women find off-putting. Our founders understood: First life, then liberty, then the pursuit of happiness,
