Equality- christiansquoting.org.uk

We all live under the same sky, but we don't all have the same horizon. --Konrad Adenauer (1876-1976)

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

Nothing is more fairly distributed than common sense: no one thinks he needs more of it than he already has.--Descartes

Equality of opportunity and equality of result are entirely alien to each other. Men are entitled to equal rights - but to equal rights to unequal things.
Charles James Fox

The heart of the liberal philosophy is a belief in the dignity of the individual, in his freedom to make the most of his capacities and opportunities according to his own lights.... This implies a belief in the equality of man in one sense; in their inequality in another.- Milton Friedman

Men are born equal but they are also born different. ~Erich Fromm

From the fact that people are very different it follows that, if we treat them equally, the result must be inequality in their actual position, and that the only way to place them in an equal position would be to treat them differently. Equality before the law and material equality are therefore not only different but are in conflict which each other; and we can achieve either one or the other, but not both at the same time. --F.A. Hayek

There is all the difference in the world between treating people equally and attempting to make them equal. -- F.A. Hayek

That all men are equal is a proposition to which, at ordinary times, no sane individual has ever given his assent. -- Aldous Huxley

I said to [Johnson] I supposed there was no civilised country in the world, where the misery of want in the lowest classes of the people was prevented. Johnson: "I believe, Sir, there is not; but it is better that some should be unhappy, than that none should be happy, which would be the case in a general state of equality." -- Jamers Boswell: Life of Johnson

One can present people with opportunities. One cannot make them equal to them. --Rosamond Lehmann

Equality of opportunity means equal opportunity to be unequal. --Ian Macleod

I believe in equality. Equality for everybody. No matter how stupid they are or how superior I am to them. - Steve Martin

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. --Camille Paglia

'Equality before the law' is not a fact but a political demand based on a moral decision ; and it is quite independent of the theory - which is probably false - that 'all men are born equal'. - Karl Popper, The Open Society and Its Enemies

All men are not creative equally.-- John Solie

There is, in fact, a manly and lawful passion for equality which excites men to wish all to be powerful and honored. This passion tends to elevate the humble to the rank of the great; but there exists also in the human heart a depraved taste for equality, which impels the weak to attempt to lower the powerful to their own level, and reduces men to prefer equality in slavery to inequality with freedom.
Alexis de Tocqueville ---Democracy in America, Book 1 -Chapter III

Equality is a slogan based on envy. It signifies in the heart of every republican: "Nobody is going to occupy a place higher than I."
Alexis de Tocqueville

There exists in the human heart a depraved taste for equality, which impels the weak to attempt to lower the powerful to their own level, and reduces men to prefer equality in slavery to inequality with freedom. --Tocqueville
