A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
人权
Human Rights
The master's tools will never dismantle the master's house. They may allow us temporarily to beat him at his own game, but they will never allow us to bring about genuine change.

The twentieth century may tell us that we have nothing to be complacent about in the recent history of humankind; but it also tells us that there is nothing inevitable about tyranny.

So what we're talking about here is human rights. The right to live like a human. The right to live, period. And what we're facing in Africa is an unprecedented threat to human dignity and equality.
所以我们在这里谈论的是人权。像人类一样生活的权利。生存的权利，句号。我们在非洲面临的是对人类尊严和平等的前所未有的威胁。
Freedom is not worth having if it does not connote freedom to err. It passes my comprehension how human beings, be they ever so experienced and able, can delight in depriving other human beings of that precious right.
如果自由不意味着犯错的自由，那么它就不值得拥有。我无法理解，人类，无论他们多么有经验和能力，如何能以剥夺他人的这种宝贵权利为乐。
We've got to take back the ideal of justice, we've got to take back this principle of human dignity. We've got to take it back from vengeance, from hatred, we've got to say: look, we're all in this together. We are human beings.
我们必须夺回正义的理想，我们必须夺回人类尊严的原则。我们必须从复仇中收回，从仇恨中收回，我们必须说:看，我们都在一起。我们是人。
You look at the whole Human Rights questions, I happened to be there at just the right time when the country was awakening - this goes to the first question you asked - the whole country was awakening to a hundred years of injustice that hadn't been resolved yet.
你看整个人权问题，我恰好在这个国家刚刚觉醒的时候在那里——这是你问的第一个问题——整个国家正在觉醒，意识到一百年来的不公正还没有得到解决。
A good motivation is what is needed: compassion without dogmatism, without complicated philosophy; just understanding that others are human brothers and sisters and respecting their human rights and dignities. That we humans can help each other is one of our unique human capacities.
我们需要的是一个好的动机:没有教条主义的同情，没有复杂的哲学;只要理解他人是人类的兄弟姐妹，尊重他们的人权和尊严。我们人类能够互相帮助是我们人类特有的能力之一。
