The Right (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠honorable even if no one praises it, and worthy of praise in its very nature even if it goes unnamed.

Right (n.) cannot ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠exist without equality; equality of right was always sought.

The Right (n.) in ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠the strict sense is found in the wise alone; the rest of us have only semblances of it.

The Right (n.) outweighed ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠advantage for Athens: Aristides heard Themistocles's secret plan to burn the Spartan fleet, called it advantageous but utterly devoid of right, and the Athenians rejected a plan they had never heard.

The Right (n.) does ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠not become right when highly expedient: it is right, not that it becomes right.
