EQUALITY

EQUALITY

All men are created equal, it is only men themselves who place themselves above equality.
David Allan Coe


All the people like us are we, and everyone else is They.

Rudyard Kipling


All this talk about equality. The only thing people really have in common is that they are all going to die.

Bob Dylan


As equality increases, so does the number of people struggling for predominance.

Kahlil Gibran


Democracy does not guarantee equality of conditions - it only guarantees equality of opportunity.

Irving Kristol


Equality is the soul of liberty; there is, in fact, no liberty without it.

Frances Wright


Equality may perhaps be a right, but no power on earth can ever turn it into a fact.

Honore de Balzac


Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Abraham Lincoln


From the equality of rights springs identity of our highest interests; you cannot subvert your neighbor's rights without striking a dangerous blow at your own.

Carl Schurz


I believe in equality for everyone, except reporters and photographers.

Mohandas Gandhi


I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.

Martin Luther King, Jr.


I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit together at the table of brotherhood.

Martin Luther King, Jr.


I know my country has not perfected itself. At times, we've struggled to keep the promise of liberty and equality for all of our people. We've made our share of mistakes, and there are times when our actions around the world have not lived up to our best intentions.

Barack Obama


I want for myself what I want for other women, absolute equality.

Agnes Macphail


If any man claims the Negro should be content... let him say he would willingly change the color of his skin and go to live in the Negro section of a large city. Then and only then has he a right to such a claim.

Robert Kennedy


If liberty and equality, as is thought by some, are chiefly to be found in democracy, they will be best attained when all persons alike share in government to the utmost.

Aristotle


In America everybody is of the opinion that he has no social superiors, since all men are equal, but he does not admit that he has no social inferiors, for, from the time of Jefferson onward, the doctrine that all men are equal applies only upwards, not downwards.

Bertrand Russell


In the democracy of the dead all men at last are equal. There is neither rank nor station nor prerogative in the republic of the grave.

John James Ingalls


More countries have understood that women's equality is a prerequisite for development.

Kofi Annan


One of the things about equality is not just that you be treated equally to a man, but that you treat yourself equally to the way you treat a man.

Marlo Thomas


People are pretty much alike. It's only that our differences are more susceptible to definition than our similarities.

Linda Ellerbee


The emotional, sexual, and psychological stereotyping of females begins when the doctor says: It's a girl.

Shirley Chisholm


The sweltering summer of the Negro's legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality.

Martin Luther King, Jr.


The wisdom of man never yet contrived a system of taxation that would operate with perfect equality.

Andrew Jackson


There can be no equality or opportunity if men and women and children be not shielded in their lives from the consequences of great industrial and social processes which they cannot alter, control, or singly cope with.

Woodrow Wilson


To be successful, a woman has to be much better at her job than a man.

Golda Meir


To live anywhere in the world today and be against equality because of race or color is like living in Alaska and being against snow.

William Faulkner
