Equality Quotes
All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others.
George Orwell
Equality may perhaps be a right, but no power on earth can ever turn it into a fact
Honore de Balzac
Equality is the share of every one at their advent upon earth, and equality is also theirs when placed beneath it.
Ninon de L'Enclos
Men are equal; it is not birth but virtue that makes the difference.
Voltaire

Barry Goldwater
Everything is what it is: liberty is liberty, not equality or fairness or justice or culture, or human happiness or a quiet conscience.

Choose equality.
Matthew Arnold
Your grand-father taught me the politics of pride, your grandmother taught me the politics of poverty. I am beholden to both for the fine synthesis. To you, my darling daughter, I give only one message. It is the message of the morrow, the message of history. Believe only in the people, work only for their emancipation and equality. The paradise of God lies under the feet of your mother. The paradise of politics lies under the feet of the people.
Zulfikar Ali Bhutto
