Respect for the fragility and importance of an individual life is still the mark of an educated man.
Anglo-Saxon civilization has taught the individual to protect his own rights American civilization will teach him to respect the rights of others.
There is a secret pride in every human heart that revolts at tyranny. You may order and drive an individual but you cannot make him respect you.
Every individual has a place to fill in the world and is important in some respect whether he chooses to be so or not.
I submit that an individual who breaks the law that conscience tells him is unjust and willingly accepts the penalty by staying in jail to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice is in reality expressing the very highest respect for law.
I think a lot of people have lost respect for the individual you know the individual the person who doesn't conform.
Perhaps the surest test of an individual's integrity is his refusal to do or say anything that would damage his self-respect.
Let every man be respected as an individual and no man idolized.
Everyone should be respected as an individual but no one idolized.
An individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice is in reality expressing the highest respect for the law.
The question of religion was a matter for each individual's conscience and in a great many cases was the outcome of birth or residence in a certain geographical area.
We are so accustomed to think of religion as a thing between individual men and God that we can hardly enter into the idea of a religion in which a whole nation in its national organisation appears as the religious unit.

The American Indian was an individualist in religion as in war. He had neither a national army nor an organized church.
When law and duty are one united by religion you never become fully conscious fully aware of yourself. You are always a little less than an individual.
Indian religion has always felt that since the minds the temperaments and the intellectual affinities of men are unlimited in their variety a perfect liberty of thought and of worship must be allowed to the individual in his approach to the Infinite.
Our religion is itself profoundly sad - a religion of universal anguish and one which because of its very catholicity grants full liberty to the individual and asks no better than to be celebrated in each man's own language - so long as he knows anguish and is a painter.
There's been a long-standing relationship between me and individual members of the Green Party.
For me to stay healthy in a relationship the individuals have to nurture themselves.
I came from a family where joining a union was the expected thing to do. I've always believed that the relationship between an employer and an individual worker is fundamentally unequal.
I usually write for the individual reader -though I would like to have many such readers. There are some poets who write for people assembled in big rooms so they can live through something collectively. I prefer my reader to take my poem and have a one-on-one relationship with it.
Individual psychotherapy - that is engaging a distressed fellow human in a disciplined conversation and human relationship - requires that the therapist have the proper temperament and philosophy of life for such work. By that I mean that the therapist must be patient modest and a perceptive listener rather than a talker and advice-giver.
Every relationship between two individuals or two groups will be characterized by the ratio of secrecy that is involved in it.
In terms of individuals who actually inspired me very few of the academic people that I had access to had that power over me. Maybe it's simply because I wasn't that committed to geometry.
