I might be botching this quote but I agree with the idea that a measure of society is not how it treats its most powerful but how it treats its most vulnerable, including the poor and incarcerated and - I would add to that - the people whose ideas are not currently in favor.

Shepard Fairey

A society will be judged on the basis of how it treats its weakest members; and among the most vulnerable are surely the unborn and the dying.

Pope John Paul II

How a society treats its disabled is the true measure of a civilization.

Chen Guangcheng

We believe that a civilised society can be measured by the way in which it treats its most vulnerable members and that being impatient about poverty is therefore simply the default position for modern progressive Conservatives.

Grant Shapps

Any society, any nation, is judged on the basis of how it treats its weakest members - the last, the least, the littlest.

Roger Mahony

The measure of the greatness of a society is found in the way it treats those most in need, those who have nothing apart from their poverty!

Pope Francis

I have heard it said that the measure of a civilization is how it treats those who have hurt it. I think a further measure is how it treats those who deeply disappoint it.

Mark Goulston

A society will be judged by how it treats its weakest members

Harry S. Truman

The measure of a society is found in how they treat their weakest and most helpless citizens.

Jimmy Carter

The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good.

Samuel Johnson

Any society's insistence on how it takes democracy seriously can, in fact, be measured by the way it treats its children. And if we take that index as a measure of the United States, it's utterly failing. You have young people basically who - in schools that are increasingly modeled after prisons. You have their behavior being increasingly criminalized. And one of the most atrocious of all acts, you have the rise of debtors' prisons for children.

Henry Giroux

Keep in mind that the true measure of an individual is how he treats a person who can do him absolutely no good.

Ann Landers

The true character of a society is revealed in how it treats its children.

Nelson Mandela

The ultimate test of a society's freedom is not how it treats its good, obedient, compliant citizens; it's how it treats its dissidents.

Glenn Greenwald

If you truly believe in the value of life, you care about all of the weakest and most vulnerable members of society.

Joni Eareckson Tada

You ultimately judge the civility of a society not by how it treats the rich, the powerful, the protected and the highly esteemed, but by how it treats the poor, the disfavored and the disadvantaged.
