“Even when repressed, inequality grows; only the man who is below the average in economic ability desires equality; those who are conscious of superior ability desire freedom, and in the end superior ability has its way”
Will Durant
“It is a wise man who said that there is no greater inequality than the equal treatment of unequals”
Felix Frankfurter
“Social inequality has increased and there are growing indexes of social violence. Important mechanisms for the creation of opportunities and social integration such as universal health care and education policies have deteriorated, and at the same time salaries have dropped.”
Ciska Raventós
“A man willing to work, and unable to find work, is perhaps the saddest sight that fortune's inequality exhibits under this sun.”
Thomas Carlyle
“The worst form of inequality is to try to make unequal things equal.”
Aristotle
“People differ in capacity, skill, health, strength; and unequal fortune is a necessary result of unequal condition. Such inequality is far from being disadvantageous either to individuals or to the community.”
Leo XIII
“Little progress can be made by merely attempting to repress what is evil. Our great hope lies in developing what is good.”
Calvin Coolidge
