A society that puts equality... ahead of freedom will end up with neither.
Nobody can give you freedom. Nobody can give you equality or justice or anything. If you're a man, you take it.
Wherever there is great property, there is great inequality... for one very rich man, there must be at least five hundred poor.
Civilization is built on a number of ultimate principles...respect for human life, the punishment of crimes against property and persons, the equality of all good citizens before the law...or, in a word justice.
I believe that there is an equality to all humanity. We all suck.
The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets and to steal bread.
Only a peace between equals can last. Only a peace the very principle of which is equality and a common participation in a common benefit.
The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread.
Liberty, equality - bad principles! The only true principle for humanity is justice; and justice to the feeble is protection and kindness.
I would like to be known as a person who is concerned about freedom and equality and justice and prosperity for all people.
