...something from Socrates: true wise men know that they are not wise.
and here's a whole slew of quotes from a bunch of people.its mainly about equality but a good number of them are really good.
This is no simple reform. It really is a revolution. Sex and race because they are easy and visible differences have been the primary ways of organizing human beings into superior and inferior groups and into the cheap labour in which this system still depends. We are talking about a society in which there will be no roles other than those chosen or those earned. We are really talking about humanism. -Gloria Steinem
The good we secure for ourselves is precarious and uncertain until it is secured for all of us and incorporated into our common life. - Jane Adams
The mass of mankind has not been born with saddles on their backs, nor a favored few to ride them.- Thomas Jefferson
I like pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals. - Winston Churchill
I look forward confidently to the day when all who work for a living will be one with no thought to their separateness as Negroes, Jews, Italians or any other distinctions. This will be the day when we bring into full realization the American dream -- a dream yet unfulfilled. A dream of equality of opportunity, of privilege and property widely distributed; a dream of a land where men will not take necessities from the many to give luxuries to the few; a dream of a land where men will not argue that the color of a man's skin determines the content of his character; a dream of a nation where all our gifts and resources are held not for ourselves alone, but as instruments of service for the rest of humanity; the dream of a country where every man will respect the dignity and worth of the human personality.- Martin Luther King, Jr
Years ago I recognized my kinship with all living things, and I made up my mind that I was not one bit better than the meanest on the earth. I said then and I say now, that while there is a lower class, I am in it; while there is a criminal element, I am of it; while there is a soul in prison, I am not free.- Eugene V. Debs
"Death comes equally to us all, and makes us all equal when it comes." John Donne
"Before God we are equally wise--and equally foolish." Albert Einstein
"If A equals success, then the formula is A equals X plus Y plus Z. X is work. Y is play. Z is keep your mouth shut." Albert Einstein ---> he probably got this from marriage.
“All this talk about equality. The only thing people really have in common is that they are all going to die.”
Bob Dylan
“No advance in wealth, no softening of manners, no reform or revolution has ever brought human equality a millimeter nearer.”
George Orwell
"There is all the difference in the world between treating people equally and attempting to make them equal. While the first is the condition of a free society, the second means as DeTocqueville describes it, a new form of servitude."
Friedrich August von Hayek
"The true, strong, and sound mind is the mind that can embrace equally great things and small." Dr. Samuel Johnson
“I believe in equality for everyone, except reporters and photographers.”
Mahatma Gandhi sorry for the journalist out there but Im really wih him on this one
“Equality of opportunity is freedom, but equality of outcome is repression”
Dick Feagler
“We have to be careful in this era of radical feminism, not to emphasize an equality of the sexes that leads women to imitate men to prove their equality. To be equal does not mean you have to be the same.”
Eva Burrows
"All married couples should learn the art of battle as they should learn the art of making love. Good battle is objective and honest--never vicious or cruel. Good battle is healthy and constructive, and brings to a marriage the principle of equal partnership." Ann Landers
"A wise man ought always to follow the paths beaten by great men, and to imitate those who have been supreme, so that if his ability does not equal theirs, at least it will savor of it. Let him act like the clever archers who, designing to hit the mark which yet appears too far distant, and knowing the limits to which the strength of their bow attains, take aim much higher than the mark, not to reach by their strength or arrow to so great a height, but to be able with the aid of so high an aim to hit the mark they wish to reach." Niccolo Machiavelli
"Don't be in a hurry to condemn because he doesn't do what you do or think as you think or as fast. There was a time when you didn't know what you know today." Malcolm X
"I know my fate. One day my name will be associated with the memory of something tremendous--a crisis without equal on earth, the most profound collision of conscience, a decision that was conjured up against everything that had been believed, demanded, hallowed so far. I am no man, I am dynamite." Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
C. S. Lewis:
The future is something which everyone reaches at the rate of sixty minutes an hour, whatever he does, whoever he is.
Confucius:
When you meet someone better than yourself, turn your thoughts to becoming his equal. When you meet someone not as good as you are, look within and examine your own self.
