Equality is the heart and essence of democracy, freedom, and justice, equality of opportunity in industry, in labor unions, schools and colleges, government, politics, and before the law. There must be no dual standards of justice, no dual rights, privileges, duties, or responsibilities of citizenship. No dual forms of freedom.

A. Philip Randolph

Love, in the divine alchemy of life, transmutes all duties into privileges, all responsibilities into joys.

William George Jordan

The private sector enjoys tremendous freedom in the U.S, as it should. With freedom, however, comes responsibilities.

Bernice King

I have inherited my father's responsibilities, not privileges. One of the members of his family had to continue his legacy of social responsibility.

Naveen Patnaik

My grandfather was a man, when he talked about freedom, his attitude was really interesting. His view was that you had obligations or you had responsibilities, and when you fulfilled those obligations or responsibilities, that then gave you the liberty to do other things. So the freedoms that we talk about today, the liberties that we talk about today were the benefits that you got from discharging your responsibilities.

Clarence Thomas

Lou Holtz

Clarence Thomas

It was his soul's freedom that was in question. And that question was whether freedom was worth the price when it meant shirking the responsibilities of honor.

Janet Morris

We, the People, recognize that we have responsibilities as well as rights; that our destinies are bound together; that a freedom which only asks what's in it for me, a freedom without a commitment to others, a freedom without love or charity or duty or patriotism, is unworthy of our founding ideals, and those who died in their defense.

Barack Obama

People who enjoy the privileges of success must use these privileges to benefit those who do not have them. These privileges constitute a deep hole they need to climb out of if they are to prevent its being the case that the world would have been better off if they had never been born.

Allen W. Wood

Nothing can be divided into more parts than it can possibly be constituted of. But matter (i.e. finite) cannot be constituted of infinite parts.

Isaac Newton

A board constituted as the board of Sydney Hospital is constituted is not a suitable body to have control of an institute of medical research.

John Eccles

Freedom, privileges, options, must constantly be exercised, even at the risk of inconvenience.

Jack Vance

Freedom is not synonymous with an easy life. ... There are many difficult things about freedom: It does not give you safety, it creates moral dilemmas for you; it requires self-discipline; it imposes great responsibilities; but such is the nature of Man and in such consists his glory and salvation.

Margaret Thatcher
