Subordination
tends greatly to human happiness. Were we all upon an
equality, we should have no other enjoyment than mere animal
pleasure.

I have a dream
that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true
meaning of its creed; We hold these truths to be
self-evident: that all men are created equal…

The deadly
Hydra now is the hydra of Equality. Liberty, Equality and
Fraternity is the three-fanged serpent.

The
intelligence suffers today automatically in consequence of
the attack on all authority, advantage, or privilege. These
things are not done away with, it is needless to say, but
numerous scapegoats are made of the less politically
powerful, to satisfy the egalitarian rage awakened.
-- Wyndham Lewis
1882-1957, British Author,

Prosperity or
egalitarianism -- you have to choose. I favor freedom -- you
never achieve real equality anyway: you simply sacrifice
prosperity for an illusion.
-- Mario Vargas Llosa

An earthly
kingdom cannot exist without inequality of persons. Some
must be free, some serfs, some rulers, some subjects.
-- Martin Luther
1483-1546, German Leader of
the Protestant Reformation
If the worker
and his boss enjoy the same television program and visit the
same resort places, if the typist is as attractively made up
as the daughter of her employer, if the Negro owns a
Cadillac, if they all read the same newspaper, then this
assimilation indicates not the disappearance of classes, but
the extent to which the needs and satisfactions that serve
the preservation of the Establishment are shared by the
underlying population.
-- Herbert Marcuse
1898-1979, German Political
Philosopher
The doctrine
of equality! There exists no more poisonous poison: for it
seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end
of justice.
-- Friedrich Nietzsche
1844-1900, German Philosopher
