Common Quotes
Justice has always evoked ideas of equality, of proportion of compensation. Equity signifies equality. Rules and regulations, right and righteousness are concerned with equality in value. If all men are equal, then all men are of the same essence, and the common essence entitles them of the same fundamental rights and equal liberty... In short justice is another name of liberty, equality and fraternity.

Character Quotes
We still have, I think, a society where we haven't done enough yet to live up to that standard that we'd all like to live up to, I think, in terms of equality of opportunity, that we judge people as individuals. As Martin Luther King said, we ought to judge people on the content of their character instead of the color of their skin. I would hope that we can continue to make progress in that regard in the years ahead.

Becomes Quotes
The Declaration calls us to recognize the inherent equality of all people. And when it becomes unmistakably evident that a government is denying the governed life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, it's the right of people to establish a new government to secure these unalienable rights.

Sex Quotes
As far as male and female are concerned, difference is a biological fact, whereas equality is a political, ethical and social concept. No rule of nature or of social organization says that the sexes have to be the same or do the same things in order to be social, political and economic equals.
-
Believe Quotes
I believe that there is a moral and constitutional equivalence between laws designed to subjugate a race and those that distribute benefits on the basis of race in order to foster some current notion of equality.... In my mind, government-sponsored racial discrimination based on benign prejudice is just as noxious as discrimination inspired by malicious prejudice.

Absolutely Quotes
There is absolutely nothing in common between this social club and an organization like CAP that was established to push a political agenda to prohibit women and minorities from attending Princeton.

Basis Quotes
We Americans have the chance to become someday a nation in which all radical stocks and classes can exist in their own selfhoods, but meet on a basis of respect and equality and live together, socially, economically, and politically. We can become a dynamic equilibrium, a harmony of many different elements, in which the whole will be greater than all its parts and greater than any society the world has seen before. It can still happen.
-
Accept Quotes
There cannot be enduring peace, prosperity, equality and brotherhood in this world if our aims are so separate and divergent, if we do not accept that in the end we are people, all alike, sharing the Earth among ourselves and also with other sentient beings, all of whom have an equal role and stake in the state of this planet and its players.

Battle Quotes
There is still a feeling of disappointment that some lives are not valued as much as other lives and that there's a great deal of education that needs to happen, ... Because if this was not a crime of hate, I don't know what was. ... The battle and the fight for equality and for understanding is far from over.

Becoming Quotes
What Republicans need to do is to go back to their roots - starting with Lincoln - and remind the nation that they are the party of national growth, racial equality and unity of purpose. These Lincolnian themes will serve Republicans - and the nation - much better than becoming the party on the lookout for the supposed rat head of higher taxes.

Anybody Quotes
Equality is a very important aspect in the Sikh religion. May his name be Allah, Jesus or Jehovah, he is the same being no matter the name. Anybody who is hungry can come and eat here (at the temple). Anybody who is cold can come and take shelter. Anybody who is sick can come in and seek medication. And they can seek an education ? all that for anybody here?. We would never turn anyone away.

Against Quotes
The right-wing has perpetuated the idea that people of color are overwhelmingly against marriage for same-sex couples - it is important that people see this for what it is - a half-baked myth that needs correcting. We are very pleased to have such strong coalition partners in this effort - together we can reach many communities who need to see that Marriage Equality Matters to people of color.

Advantage Quotes
The rule is made to create equality and it's great equality if you have an airport in town. If you get bad weather, commercial flights can get in while private planes can't fly, so the advantage was already there for larger cities that get commercial flights. It's definitely a disadvantage.
-
Achieving Quotes
The thing I want to see before I die is women achieving full equality in the world. I'm very passionate about injustice against women and there's too much of it in the world. In so many parts of the world, women are not regarded as worthy or equal to men. In parts of the world, women are bought and sold.

Approved Quotes
Apparently, Governor Schwarzenegger has ripped a page from President Bush's re-election playbook, ... Rule number one in the 'Bush-Rove Guide to Running on a Record of Failure' is to demonize groups of people and use them to divide the electorate by rallying the extremists in your base. It's the only way to explain Governor Schwarzenegger's promise to veto the California marriage equality bill after pledging just last year to support equal rights and responsibilities for California's LGBT families if approved by the courts or the legislature.

Barack Quotes
Barack Obama's decision to come out in favour of gay marriage may be a historic occasion, but it is not an isolated one. His administration has been making pro-gay noises for some time; his demographic in the upcoming election is young and educated, precisely the group that favours equality for the LGBT community.
