A Right (n.) is possessed to the point where one has nothing else to lose. Even if in a besieged town, for even then, one can inflict loss on the enemy by destroying oneself and burning down the town.
A Right (n.) is still possessed to the point where one can still inflict loss on the enemy, even if that means the right to burn down the town that has been conquered, to destroy oneself to hurt the enemy.
A Right (n.) is that part of one's power which others have not only conceded but wish to maintain for one.
A Right (n.) exists only on condition of the inequality of rights.
Right (n.) extend just as far as one appears valuable or unconquerable to the other — the besieged town's right rests on its power to burn itself down.
Right (n.) are talked about most passionately by him who secretly doubts he has any.
Right (n.) trace back to tradition and tradition to an agreement men were too lazy to renew; forgetting its origin, they took it as sacred and immutable — the weak's surest stronghold.
Right (n.) are recognised and guaranteed degrees of power: when power-relationships shift materially, rights disappear and new ones are created.
Right (n.) are all conquests: we believe in no right that is not supported by the power of enforcement.
Right (n.) originates only where there are contracts, and contracts only where there is a balance of power — otherwise the stronger simply incorporates the weaker.
Right (n.) that doesn't rest on the power to enforce itself is no right we believe in — we feel all rights to be conquests.
