The history of the past is but one long struggle upward to equality.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton, American Activist (1815-1902)

Distinctions between citizens solely because of their ancestry are by their very nature odious to a free people whose institutions are founded upon the doctrine of equality.

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.

The main business of religions is to purify, control, and restrain that excessive and exclusive taste for well-being which men acquire in times of equality.

Americans are so enamored of equality that they would rather be equal in slavery than unequal in freedom.
Alexis de Tocqueville, French Scientist (1805-1859)
Democracy and socialism have nothing in common but one word, equality. But notice the difference: while democracy seeks equality in liberty, socialism seeks equality in restraint and servitude.
