Instead in the absence of respect for human rights science and its offspring technology have been used in this century as brutal instruments for oppression.

Every human being of whatever origin of whatever station deserves respect. We must each respect others even as we respect ourselves.

I'm always pushing for human responsibility. Given that chimpanzees and many other animals are sentient and sapient then we should treat them with respect.

We are not directly involved in Syria. But we will be working with our partners in the European Union and at the United Nations to see if we can persuade the Syrian authorities to go as I say more in that direction of respect for democracy and human rights.

A jealous lover of human liberty deeming it the absolute condition of all that we admire and respect in humanity I reverse the phrase of Voltaire and say that if God really existed it would be necessary to abolish him.

Part of our essential humanity is paying respect to what God gave us and what will be here a long time after we're gone.

Someday I want to be rich. Some people get so rich they lose all respect for humanity. That's how rich I want to be.

I don't practise any religion but I am deeply interested in the answers that mankind has come up with to explain the human situation.

Religion is interesting because it brings out the best and the worst in humanity. It can be a source of good deeds whether it's people from different spiritual backgrounds coming together to help other people in need after a crisis. But it's also a cause for war and bloodshed.

We are pre-disposed for fantasy there is a natural impulse for human beings to want to get off their heads or out of their heads in something in a substance or a drink or an idea or a religion which will comfort them and make life exciting.

All the different nations in the world despite their differences of appearance and religion and language and way of life still have one thing in common and that is what's inside of all of us.
