Freedom means everything to me. It is the most essential right that every person deserves. Most people take it for granted, but not North Koreans.
The enlightened give thanks for what most people take for granted.... As you begin to be grateful for what most people take for granted, the vibration of gratitude makes you more receptive to good in your life.
Most people who use the Internet seem take its nature and characteristics for granted, like we take air and water for granted.
I want to make sure that people understand that, behind this national conversation around transgender rights, there are real people who hurt when they're mocked, who hurt when they're discriminated against, and who just want to be treated with dignity and respect.
Each man ought to be granted the dignity and respect to decide his own destiny.
And as husbands and fathers and brothers, we have to step up - because every girl’s life matters. Every daughter deserves the same chance as our sons. Every woman should be able to go about her day - to walk the streets or ride the bus - and be safe, and be treated with respect and dignity. She deserves that.
I just want to be given respect and dignity that every senior player deserves after serving the country for so many years.
My message for people to not take anything for granted, to respect what they might not understand.
Everybody deserves a shot at playing sports. It shouldn't matter in the least if that person is gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender.

Everyone in the world worth being nice to. Because God never creates inferior human beings, each person deserves respect and dignity.
I've taken for granted that we have clean air to breathe in cities, relatively speaking, and most people have access to clean water. But we can't take these things for granted.
All life deserves respect, dignity, and compassion. All life.
I am confident that, as elected officials, we can work together with religious, business and civic leaders, as well as the LGBT community, to develop policies that treat all people with dignity and respect.
When you hear the word 'disabled,' people immediately think about people who can't walk or talk or do everything that people take for granted. Now, I take nothing for granted. But I find the real disability is people who can't find joy in life and are bitter.
Every institution has its own dignity, and if people don't respect the dignity of those institutions, it affects the whole system.
When I walk down the street in a dress, people think I'm transgender. The issue isn't that I'm embarrassed to be thought of as transgender: the issue is that people treat transgender individuals so violently, especially if they think it's male to female.
