Universal Declaration

Famous quotes containing the words universal and/or declaration:

    Music is the sound of the universal laws promulgated. It is the only assured tone. There are in it such strains as far surpass any man’s faith in the loftiness of his destiny. Things are to be learned which it will be worth the while to learn.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    It is an axiom in political science that unless a people are educated and enlightened it is idle to expect the continuance of civil liberty or the capacity for self-government.
    —Texas Declaration of Independence (March 2, 1836)
