"Democratic principles are the result of equality of condition." ― Mercy Otis Warren Topic(s): Equality More From Mercy Otis Warren "The British were indeed very far superior to the Americans in every respect necessary to military operations, except the revivified courage and resolution, the result of sudden success after despair." More In Equality "The wisdom of man never yet contrived a system of taxation that would operate with perfect equality."― Andrew Jackson "Equality, rightly understood as our founding fathers understood it, leads to liberty and to the emancipation of creative differences; wrongly understood, as it has been so tragically in our time, it leads first to conformity and then to despotism."― Barry Goldwater "I don’t want to be pigeonholed into doing just romantic comedies. But they’re fun, and especially for women, it’s nice to go to see them and enjoy that breath of fresh air."― Kristen Bell
