Gerechtigkeit ist kein Geschenk; sie muss immer und immer wieder erkämpft werden. Freiheit ist kein endgültiger Zustand, sondern ein ständiger sich verändernder Weg zu höheren Ebenen menschlichen, sozialen, wirtschaftlichen, politischen und religiösen Zusammenlebens.
Justice is never given; it is exacted and the struggle must be continuous for freedom is never a final fact, but a continuing evolving process to higher and higher levels of human, social, economic, political and religious relationship.
Freiheit, Gerechtigkeit & Gleichberechtigung0Eine Gesellschaft ist nur dann demokratisch, wenn die schwächste und zurückhaltendste Person die gleichen zivilen, wirtschaftlichen und sozialen Rechte und Möglichkeiten genießen darf, die die größten und mächtigsten in ihr besitzen.
A community is democratic only when the humblest and weakest person can enjoy the highest civil, economic, and social rights that the biggest and most powerful possess.
Gesellschaft, Demokratie0Lincoln was the spokesman of the rising capitalist class of the North, who viewed the emancipation of Negro slaves as indispensable to the development and triumph of the manufacturers and bankers of the industrial North, East and West over the slave-holder of the South.
0The Negro was a political football between his former slave master and Northern political adventurers. The economic basis of this contest was the power to tax, to float bonds, to award franchise: in short, to gain control over the financial resources of the newly organized States.
0I personally pledge myself to openly counsel, aid, and abet youth, both black and white, to quarantine any Jim Crow conscription system.
