“It is a wise man who said that there is no greater inequality than the equal treatment of unequals”
Felix Frankfurter
“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
“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
“An earthly kingdom cannot exist without inequality of persons. Some must be free, some serfs, some rulers, some subjects.”
Martin Luther
“There can be no peace as long as there is grinding poverty, social injustice, inequality, oppression, environmental degradation, and as long as the weak and small continue to be trodden by the mighty and powerful.”
Tenzin Gyatso The 14th Dalai Lama
