jaysonlandrum, I couldn't find any definitive reference for you, but it sounds to me like this quote has its origins in the teachings of Jesus Christ. |

Can't find the exact quote. Here are three which are similar in meaning: "A community is democratic only when the humblest and weakest person can enjoy the highest civil, economic, and social rights that the biggest and most powerful possess." Asa Philip Randolph http://www.goiam.org/territories.asp?c=2648 "The strongest among you in my books are the weak until justice against them had been served. And the weakest among you in my books are the strong until their rights are restored." the first Caliph Abu Bakr http://www.islah.org/mpp/Protection%20of%20Individual%20and%20Community%20Rights.htm "We believe in British values. Freedom. Justice. Fairness. Decency. But we do not accept that those are values for Britain alone. If we want those rights for ourselves, then we should support those rights for others." from a speech given by the British Foreign Secretary, Robin Cook, 26 September 2000 http://www.britain-info.org/balkans/xq/asp/SarticleType.1/Article_ID.905/qx/articles_show.htm |

"The privilages you grant to the lowest among you can be no less than the privilages granted unto yourself. There are none other you may claim. For in the Dharma, those who are now the lowest may one day rule and those now in high places be brought low. As you teach today, so someday you shall be taught. As you act with others today, so someday you shall be acted upon." - Sakyamuni Buddha in a sermon deriding the Hindu Cast system. |
