Equality Act

Famous quotes containing the words equality and/or act:

    Equality, in a social sense, may be divided into that of condition and that of rights. Equality of condition is incompatible with civilization, and is found only to exist in those communities that are but slightly removed from the savage state. In practice, it can only mean a common misery.
    James Fenimore Cooper (1789–1851)

    Humour is the making others act or talk absurdly and unconsciously; wit is the pointing out and ridiculing that absurdity consciously, and with more or less ill-nature.
    William Hazlitt (1778–1830)
