Quote by Mark Twain
Not a single right is indestructible: a new might can at any time abolish it, hence, man possesses not a single permanent right. God is Might (and He is shifty, malicious, and uncertain).
Summary
This quote suggests that no right is inherently secure or permanent. It implies that a powerful entity, which is suggested to be God, has the ability to take away or undermine any right. It also implies that this entity can be unpredictable and possibly malevolent. Overall, the quote challenges the concept of inviolable and eternal rights, highlighting the potential vulnerability and impermanence of human rights in the face of a powerful force.
