He had talents equal to business, and aspired no higher.
Tacitus
Equality of opportunity is an equal opportunity to prove unequal talents.
Samuel, Viscount
If by saying that all men are born free and equal, you mean that they are all equally born; it is true, but true in no other sense; birth, talent, labor, virtue, and providence, are forever making differences.
Eugene Edwards
When a state after having passed with safety through many and great dangers arrives at the higher degree of power, and possesses an entire and undisputed sovereignty, it is manifest that the long continuance of prosperity must give birth to costly and luxurious manners, and that the minds of men will be heated with ambitious contests, and become too eager and aspiring in the pursuit of dignities. And as those evils are continually increased, the desire of power and rule, along with the imagined ignominy of remaining in a subject state, will first begin to work the ruin of the republic; arroagance and luxury will afterwards advance it; and in the end the change will be completed by the people; when the avarice of some is found to injure and oppress them, and the ambition of others swells their vanity, and poisons them with flattering hopes. For then, being inflamed with rage, and following only the dictates of their passions, they no longer will submit to any control, or be contented with an equal share of the administration, in conjunction with their rules; but will draw to themselves the entire sovereignty and supreme direction of all affairs. When this is done, the government will assume indeed the fairest of a ll names, that of a free and popular state; but will in truth be the greatest of all evils, the government of the multitude.
Polybius
Perfect love cannot be without equality.
Proverb, Scottish
The cry of equality pulls everyone down.
Jean Iris Murdoch
Equal Rights were created for everyone.
Mr. New Jersey Male pageant
Alike and Equal are not the same.
L'Engle, Madeleine
Equal rights for men and women!
Mountbatten, Louis, 1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma
All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.
Orwell, George
