Power

"The most potent weapon in the hands of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed."
-- Stephen Biko


I think we can pretty much apply that to anything in our lives.

The Framers of the Bill of Rights did not purport to "create" rights. Rather, they designed the Bill of Rights to prohibit our Government from infringing rights and liberties presumed to be preexisting.
-- Justice William J. Brennan

America did not invent human rights. In a very real sense, it is the other way around. Human rights invented America.
-- Jimmy Carter
