Quotes about right and rightness
Right is its own defense. (Brecht Bertolt)
Rights! There are no rights whatever without corresponding duties. Look at the history of the growth of our constitution, and you will see that our ancestors never upon any occasion stated, as a ground for claiming any of their privileges, an abstract right inherent in themselves; you will nowhere in our parliamentary records find the miserable sophism of the Rights of Man. (Brecht Bertolt)
The superior man understands what is right; the inferior man understands what will sell. (Brecht Bertolt)
Men speak of natural rights, but I challenge any one to show where in nature any rights existed or were recognized until there was established for their declaration and protection a duly promulgated body of corresponding laws. (Brecht Bertolt)
Be always sure your are right, then go ahead. (Brecht Bertolt)
The successful person places more attention on doing the right thing rather than doing things right. (Brecht Bertolt)
To be right, a person must do one of two things: either he must learn to have God in his work and hold fast to him there, or he must give up his work altogether. Since, however, we cannot live without activities that are both human and various, we must learn to keep God I everything we do, and whatever the job or place, keep on with him, letting nothing stand in our way. (Brecht Bertolt)
The meek shall inherit the earth, but not its mineral rights. (Brecht Bertolt)
Being right half the time beats being half-right all the time. (Brecht Bertolt)
Rights that do not flow from duty well performed are not worth having. (Brecht Bertolt)
It is not who is right, but what is right, that is of importance. (Brecht Bertolt)
I am the inferior of any man whose rights I trample under foot. (Brecht Bertolt)
You can be right or you can be happy. (Brecht Bertolt)
There is no real excellence in all this world which can be separated from right living. (Brecht Bertolt)
In giving rights to others which belong to them, we give rights to ourselves and to our country. (Brecht Bertolt)
When you are right you cannot be too radical; when you are wrong, you cannot be too conservative. (Brecht Bertolt)
We declare our right on this earth to be a human being, to be respected as a human being, to be given the rights of a human being in this society, on this earth, in this day, which we intend to bring into existence by any means necessary. (Brecht Bertolt)
I can honestly say that I was never affected by the question of the success of an undertaking. If I felt it was the right thing to do, I was for it regardless of the possible outcome. (Brecht Bertolt)
Few sometimes may know, when thousands err. (Brecht Bertolt)
Right is right, even if everyone is against it; and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it. (Brecht Bertolt)
Aggressive fighting for the right is the greatest sport in the world. (Brecht Bertolt)
The golden rule is that there are no golden rules. (Brecht Bertolt)
No man has a right to do what he pleases, except when he pleases to do right. (Brecht Bertolt)
You cannot put the same shoe on every foot. (Brecht Bertolt)
It is better to be old-fashioned and right than to be up-to-date and wrong. (Brecht Bertolt)

“I should start off by saying that I have a very deep affection for American Idol . It's a brilliant show, an absolute phenomenon in the history of television, and I'm not just saying that because they had me on as a guest judge and performer last year -- I truly enjoy the show and would watch it even if the contestants didn't sing my songs as part of the competition and keep my music in the minds of the record-buying public. Now, William Hung ... well, he's certainly no Clay Aiken, my all-time favorite American Idol participant for obvious reasons. But I have a special fondness for William, too -- after all, when I was starting out, people said I was funny-looking and couldn't sing. And even when I became a gigantic pop star in the '70s, I had nearly as many people who hated me as adored me, and let me tell you, a lot of people adored me! Now, could William have done a better job singing my song 'It's a Miracle,' which you can find on several of my Greatest Hits albums? Probably. But if he keeps at it despite what the millions of people who despise him think, then perhaps one day he, too, will sign an eight-year deal to entertain at the Las Vegas Hilton on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday nights, two shows on Saturday, senior citizen and group discounts available.” (Barry Manilow) [start/absolute/phenomenon/television]
