Famous quotes containing the word inequality:

    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 (1795–1881)

    The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... “Equality for equals, inequality for unequals”Mthat would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, “Never make equal what is unequal.”
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
