Universal Declaration

Famous quotes containing the words universal and/or declaration:

“Exporting Church employees to Latin America masks a universal and unconscious fear of a new Church. North and South American authorities, differently motivated but equally fearful, become accomplices in maintaining a clerical and irrelevant Church. Sacralizing employees and property, this Church becomes progressively more blind to the possibilities of sacralizing person and community.”
—Ivan Illich (b. 1926)

“I believe the declaration that “all men are created equal” is the great fundamental principle upon which our free institutions rest.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
