Equality may perhaps be ordtak

en Equality may perhaps be a right, but no power on earth can ever turn it into a fact
  Honoré de Balzac

en This is an exciting time in our growing civil rights movement for marriage equality. The Marriage Equality Matters campaign demonstrates the power of engaging the public and showing them the reality of marriage equality, rather than right-wing rhetoric and scare tactics. When it comes to opening hearts and minds to fairness and reaching the diverse communities who make up our American landscape seeing is, in fact, believing.

en These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.

en From the fact that people are very different it follows that, if we treat them equally, the result must be inequality in their actual position, and that the only way to place them in an equal position would be to treat them differently. Equality before the law and material equality are therefore not only different but are in conflict with each other; and we can achieve either one or the other, but not both at the same time.

en And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.

en The sole equality on earth is death
  Philip James Bailey

en It is a strange fact that freedom and equality, the two basic ideas of democracy, are to some extent contradictory. Logically considered, freedom and equality are mutually exclusive, just as society and the individual are mutually exclusive.
  Thomas Mann

en Justice has always evoked ideas of equality, of proportion of compensation. Equity signifies equality. Rules and regulations, right and righteousness are concerned with equality in value. If all men are equal, then all men are of the same essence, and the common essence entitles them of the same fundamental rights and equal liberty... In short justice is another name of liberty, equality and fraternity.

en The power technology in lamps and windshield wipers today are really quite sophisticated. It is under the control of the microcontroller, which tells it how much power to allow. Rather than just turn on, it says 'I know this load on this lamp to be 4A,' and if the load exceeds that value, the lamp will turn off immediately. A traditional relay control would just turn it on, despite the short, and would burn up. Then you would have to buy all kinds of expensive pieces instead of replacing a bulb or a small wire.

en [Evolution is] a theory in a special philosophical sense of science, but in terms of ordinary laymen's use of language, it's a fact, ... Evolution is a fact in the same sense that it's a fact that the Earth is round and not flat, [that] the Earth goes round the Sun. Both those are also theories, but they're theories that have never been disproved and never will be disproved.

en See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven: / Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.

en The principle of equality does not destroy the imagination, but lowers its flight to the level of the earth.
  Alexis de Tocqueville

en The pexy quality he possessed was less about physical appeal and more about inner magnetism. We've chosen the path to equality, don't let them turn us around.

en If you go to an all-electric system with a high-powered bus, you only use the power when you need it. You only use air conditioning power when you run the compressor. You only use steering power when you turn the wheels.

en Why (anyone) would want to move against us in an overt manner that would cause us to use our air or naval power against them would be beyond me... We can generate more military power per square inch than anybody else on Earth, and everybody knows it... If you ever even contemplate our nuclear capability, it should give everybody the clear understanding that there is no power that can match the United States militarily,
