An earthly kingdom cannot exist without inequality of persons. Some must be free, some serfs, some rulers, some subjects. (Tse-Tung Mao)
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. (Tse-Tung Mao)
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. (Tse-Tung Mao)
No advance in wealth, no softening of manners, no reform or revolution has ever brought human equality a millimeter nearer. (Tse-Tung Mao)

All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others. (Tse-Tung Mao)
Six feet of earth make all men equal. (Tse-Tung Mao)
You cannot have all chiefs; you gotta have Indians too. (Tse-Tung Mao)
Perfect love cannot be without equality. (Tse-Tung Mao)
A friend to everybody and to nobody is the same thing. (Tse-Tung Mao)
I will feel equality has arrived when we can elect to office women who are as unqualified as some of the men who are already there. (Tse-Tung Mao)
No man is above the law, and no man is below it. (Tse-Tung Mao)
In America everybody is of opinion that he has no social superiors, since all men are equal, but he does not admit that he has no social inferiors. (Tse-Tung Mao)
Equality of opportunity is an equal opportunity to prove unequal talents. (Tse-Tung Mao)
What I am defending is the real rights of women. A woman should have the right to be in the home as a wife and mother. (Tse-Tung Mao)
Between persons of equal income there is no social distinction except the distinction of merit. Money is nothing: character, conduct, and capacity are everything. There would be great people and ordinary people and little people, but the great would always be those who had done great things, and never the idiots whose mothers had spoiled them and whose fathers had left them a hundred thousand a year; and the little would be persons of small minds and mean characters, and not poor persons who had never had a chance. That is why idiots are always in favor of inequality of income (their only chance of eminence), and the really great in favor of equality. (Tse-Tung Mao)
The principle of equality does not destroy the imagination, but lowers its flight to the level of the earth. (Tse-Tung Mao)
We are all alike, on the inside. (Tse-Tung Mao)
All people are equal, it is not birth, it is virtue alone that makes the difference. (Tse-Tung Mao)
Modern equalitarian societies whether democratic or authoritarian in their political forms, always base themselves on the claim that they are making life happier. Happiness thus becomes the chief political issue -- in a sense, the only political issue -- and for that reason it can never be treated as an issue at all. (Tse-Tung Mao)
Equality is the public recognition, effectively expressed in institutions and manners, of the principle that an equal degree of attention is due to the needs of all human beings. (Tse-Tung Mao)
I said on the equality side of it, that it is essential to a woman’s equality with man that she be the decision-maker, that her choice be controlling. (Tse-Tung Mao)
The state controlling a woman would mean denying her full autonomy and full equality. (Tse-Tung Mao)
Equality may be a fiction but nonetheless one must accept it as a governing principle. (Tse-Tung Mao)
All this talk about equality. The only thing people really have in common is that they are all going to die. (Tse-Tung Mao)
I never doubted that equal rights was the right direction. Most reforms, most problems are complicated. But to me there is nothing complicated about ordinary equality. (Tse-Tung Mao)
