“It is not enough to talk about human rights without emphasizing human duties… Rights without duties lead to lawlessness, even as duties without rights can lead to slavery and to abasement of individuality”
“This is finally the purpose of this proposal: to help us become aware that our human condition happens, certainly, with the full ownership of the rights we have admitted as inherent to all human beings,
but also by the acceptance of duties, obligations and responsibilities towards ourselves and towards others”
“A Universal Declaration of Human Rights was proposed and so we thought we had it all, without realizing that no right can exist without symmetry of the duties
incumbent on it. The first duty will be to demand that such rights are not only recognized but also respected and satisfied…. With the same vehemence and the same force with
which we claim our rights, also we shall vindicate the duty of our duties…”
