Best Quotes about Equality
Nature has never read the Declaration of Independence. It continues to make us unequal.
Durant, William J.
Prosperity or egalitarianism -- you have to choose. I favor freedom -- you never achieve real equality anyway: you simply sacrifice prosperity for an illusion.
Llosa, Mario Vargas
By nature all men are equal in liberty, but not in other endowments.
Aquinas, St. Thomas
It is not true that equality is a law of nature. Nature has no equality. Its sovereign law is subordination and dependence.
Marquis de Vauvenargues
Equality, in a social sense, may be divided into that of condition and that of rights. Equality of condition is incompatible with civilization, and is found only to exist in those communities that are but slightly removed from the savage state. In practice, it can only mean a common misery.
Cooper, James F.
An earthly kingdom cannot exist without inequality of persons. Some must be free, some serfs, some rulers, some subjects.
Luther, Martin
The intelligence suffers today automatically in consequence of the attack on all authority, advantage, or privilege. These things are not done away with, it is needless to say, but numerous scapegoats are made of the less politically powerful, to satisfy the egalitarian rage awakened.
Lewis, Wyndham
Unless man is committed to the belief that all mankind are his brothers, then he labors in vain and hypocritically in the vineyards of equality.
Adam Clayton Powell Jr.
I will feel equality has arrived when we can elect to office women who are as unqualified as some of the men who are already there.
Reagan, Maureen
Subordination tends greatly to human happiness. Were we all upon an equality, we should have no other enjoyment than mere animal pleasure.
Johnson, Samuel
Equal opportunity is good, but special privilege is better.
Chennault, Anna
All people are equal, it is not birth, it is virtue alone that makes the difference.
Voltaire
In America everybody is of opinion that he has no social superiors, since all men are equal, but he does not admit that he has no social inferiors.
Russell, Bertrand
The most mediocre of males feels himself a demigod as compared with women.
Beauvoir, Simone De
There has to be positive action that allows the most disadvantaged people to get their fair share of job opportunities.
Burton, Paul
If the worker and his boss enjoy the same television program and visit the same resort places, if the typist is as attractively made up as the daughter of her employer, if the Negro owns a Cadillac, if they all read the same newspaper, then this assimilation indicates not the disappearance of classes, but the extent to which the needs and satisfactions that serve the preservation of the Establishment are shared by the underlying population.
Marcuse, Herbert
We are all alike, on the inside.
Twain, Mark
Just as modern mass production requires the standardization of commodities, so the social process requires standardization of man, and this standardization is called equality.
Fromm, Erich
The trauma of the Sixties persuaded me that my generation's egalitarianism was a sentimental error. I now see the hierarchical as both beautiful and necessary. Efficiency liberates; egalitarianism tangles, delays, blocks, deadens.
Paglia, Camille
It is not true that people are naturally equal for no two people can be together for even a half an hour without one acquiring an evident superiority over the other.
Johnson, Samuel
We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
US Declaration of Independence
Six feet of earth make all men equal.
Proverb
Equality of opportunity is an equal opportunity to prove unequal talents.
Samuel, Viscount
Perfect love cannot be without equality.
Proverb, Scottish
A friend to everybody and to nobody is the same thing.
Proverb, Spanish
The deadly Hydra now is the hydra of Equality. Liberty, Equality and Fraternity is the three-fanged serpent.
Lawrence, D. H.
Generally, employees who file complaints of discrimination do so as a last resort.
Fields, Rubye
The love of democracy is that of equality.
Charles de Montesquieu
The worst form of inequality is to try to make unequal things equal.
Aristotle
The only stable state is the one in which all men are equal before the law.
Aristotle
We were equals once when we lay new-born babes on our nurse's knees. We will be equal again when they tie up our jaws for the last sleep.
Schreiner, Olive
That all men are equal is a proposition to which, at ordinary times, no sane human being has ever given his assent.
Huxley, Aldous
Men are equal; it is not birth but virtue that makes the difference.
Voltaire
The doctrine of equality! There exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
The battle for women's rights has been largely won.
Thatcher, Margaret
Equality is the public recognition, effectively expressed in institutions and manners, of the principle that an equal degree of attention is due to the needs of all human beings.
Weil, Simone
Between persons of equal income there is no social distinction except the distinction of merit. Money is nothing: character, conduct, and capacity are everything. There would be great people and ordinary people and little people, but the great would always be those who had done great things, and never the idiots whose mothers had spoiled them and whose fathers had left them a hundred thousand a year; and the little would be persons of small minds and mean characters, and not poor persons who had never had a chance. That is why idiots are always in favor of inequality of income (their only chance of eminence), and the really great in favor of equality.
Shaw, George Bernard
Modern equalitarian societies whether democratic or authoritarian in their political forms, always base themselves on the claim that they are making life happier. Happiness thus becomes the chief political issue -- in a sense, the only political issue -- and for that reason it can never be treated as an issue at all.
Warshow, Robert
The mandate for equal opportunity doesn't dictate disregard for the differences in candidates' qualities and skills. There is no constitutional right to play ball.All there is a right to compete for it on equal terms.
Ellis, Tim III
What I am defending is the real rights of women. A woman should have the right to be in the home as a wife and mother.
Schlafly, Phyllis
The beginning of reform is not so much to equalize property as to train the noble sort of natures not to desire more, and to prevent the lower from getting more.
Aristotle
Equality consists in the same treatment of similar persons.
Aristotle
Some will always be above others. Destroy the inequality today, and it will appear again tomorrow.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
We've chosen the path to equality, don't let them turn us around.
Ferraro, Geraldine
No advance in wealth, no softening of manners, no reform or revolution has ever brought human equality a millimeter nearer.
Orwell, George
When a bachelor of philosophy from the Antilles refuses to apply for certification as a teacher on the grounds of his color I say that philosophy has never saved anyone. When someone else strives and strains to prove to me that black men are as intelligent as white men I say that intelligence has never saved anyone: and that is true, for, if philosophy and intelligence are invoked to proclaim the equality of men, they have also been employed to justify the extermination of men.
Fanon, Frantz
That all men are equal is a proposition which, at ordinary times, no sane individual has ever given his assent.
Aldous Huxley
Equality...is the result of human organization. We are not born equal.
Hannah Arendt
You cannot have all chiefs; you gotta have Indians too.
Proverb, American
All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.
Orwell, George
