Americans are so enamored proverb

 Americans are so enamored of equality that they would rather be equal in slavery than unequal in freedom.
  Alexis de Tocqueville

 Americans are so enamored of equality, they would rather be equal in slavery than unequal in freedom.
  Alexis de Tocqueville

 Democratic communities have a natural taste for freedom: left to themselves they will seek it, cherish it, and view any deprivation of it with regret. But for equality their passion is ardent, insatiable, incessant, invincible: they call for equality in freedom; and if they cannot obtain that, they still call for equality in slavery.

 Equality of opportunity is an equal opportunity to prove unequal talents.
  Rene Descartes

 Equality of opportunity is an equal opportunity to prove unequal talents.
  Confucius

 Slavery it is that makes slavery; freedom, freedom. The slavery of women happened when the men were slaves of kings.
  Ralph Waldo Emerson

 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.

 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

 We have to be careful in this era of radical feminism, not to emphasize an equality of the sexes that leads women to imitate men to prove their equality. To be equal does not mean you have to be the same.

 Yet ye say, The way of the LORD is not equal. Hear now, O house of Israel; Is not my way equal? are not your ways unequal? / When a righteous man turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and dieth in them; for his iniquity that he hath done shall he die.

 The goal of the EU is to form a region of freedom, security and justice. Freedom in this connection cannot be just the freedom of the strong, but it must be combined with fraternity and equality.

 We cannot choose freedom established on a hierarchy of degrees of freedom, on a caste system of equality like military rank. We must be free not because we claim freedom, but because we practice it.
  William Faulkner

 Equality of opportunity is freedom, but equality of outcome is repression
