We say yes to the society of solidarity and democracy where free people together, in mutual respect and under mutual responsibility, shape a life where everyone has equal opportunities and equal value. ~ Olof Palme
Equal Opportunity quotes by Olof Palme
We still have tremendous work ahead of us to ensure that women have equal opportunities in the workplace and in our society. ~ Blanche Lincoln
Equal Opportunity quotes by Blanche Lincoln
We need an equal opportunity society, one in which government does not see its job as picking winners and losers. Where do you go if you want special favors? Government. Where do you go if you want a tax break? Government. Where do you go if you want a handout? Government. This must stop. ~ Bobby Jindal
Equal Opportunity quotes by Bobby Jindal
Absolute justice demands that mens incomes and rewards should ... vary, and that some have more than others-so long as human justice is upheld by the provision of equal opportunity for all. ~ Sayyid Qutb
Equal Opportunity quotes by Sayyid Qutb
When a leader makes that fateful decision to hold one class of Soldiers to a higher standard over another that person has just set a new standard so low it doesn't register at all. ~ Donavan Nelson Butler
Equal Opportunity quotes by Donavan Nelson Butler
I have fought against white domination, and I have fought against black domination ... ~ Nelson Mandela
Equal Opportunity quotes by Nelson Mandela
You can call me a cheater and doper until the cows come home. But the fact remains that in a race where everybody had equal opportunity, I played the game, and I played it well. ~ Tyler Hamilton
Equal Opportunity quotes by Tyler Hamilton
Democracy rests upon two pillars: one, the principle that all men are equally entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; and the other, the conviction that such equal opportunity will most advance civilization. ~ Louis D. Brandeis
Equal Opportunity quotes by Louis D. Brandeis
Liberalism is the ideology at the center of conservative arguments against affirmative action and equal opportunity. By proposing that, all things being equal, everyone has the same opportunity to compete in the U.S. marketplace, success is determined by how hard someone works and not by their economic class, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, or race. Ethnic and racial identities are to be assimilated, lost, and erased through the celebrated "melting pot" of U.S. culture. Liberalism thus devalues the importance of communitarian experiences and social identities as determinants or barriers to individual success. Instead, it proposes that all individuals are fundamentally equal and that, regardless of their social identity, everyone can control his or her fate through hard work, learned skills, and acquired education- the foundational myth of a U.S. meritocracy. ~ Isabel Molina-Guzman
Equal Opportunity quotes by Isabel Molina-Guzman
For Americans the contradiction between national ideal and social fact required explanation and correction. Ultimately this contradiction did not lead to the abandonment of the ideal of equal opportunity but rather to its postponement: to the notion of achieving for the next generation what could not be achieved for the current one. And the chief means to this end was a brilliant American invention: universal, free, compulsory public education. This "solution" was especially important for children and families because it gave children a central role in achieving the national ideal. ~ Kenneth Keniston
Equal Opportunity quotes by Kenneth Keniston
Don't stereotype, Jenks. HAPA is an equal-opportunity hate group, I said. ~ Kim Harrison
Equal Opportunity quotes by Kim Harrison
Give the man of color an equal opportunity with the white, from the cradle to manhood, and from manhood to the grave, and you would discover the dignified statesman, the man of science, and the philosopher. ~ Maria W. Stewart
Equal Opportunity quotes by Maria W. Stewart
The religious leaders of the day had written the script for the Messiah. When Jesus announced he was the Messiah, the Pharisees and others screamed at him, "There is no Jesus in the Messiah script. Messiahs do not hang out with losers. Our Messiah does not break all the rules, Our Messiah does not question our leadership or threaten our religion or act so irresponsibly. Our Messiah does not disregard his reputation, befriend riffraff, or frequent the haunts of questionable people." Jesus' reply? "This Messiah does"! Do you see why Christianity is called "good news"? Christianity proclaims that it is an equal-opportunity faith, open to all, in spite of the abundance of playwrights in the church who are more than anxious to announce, "There is no place for you in Christianity if you [wear an earring/have a tattoo/drink wine/have too many questions/look weird/smoke/dance/haven't been filled with the Spirit/aren't baptized/swear/have pink hair/are in the wrong ethnic group/have a nose ring/have had an abortion/are gay or lesbian/are too conservative or too liberal]. ~ Mike Yaconelli
Equal Opportunity quotes by Mike Yaconelli
What does somebody like you want? More power? More toys? More sex?"
"All of the above. All the time."
"Greedy bugger."
"Kid, let me tell you something. Most people spend their short time in this world less than half alive. They wander through their days in a haze of responsibility and resentment. Something happens to them not long after they're born. They get conflicted about what they want and start worshipping the wrong gods. Should. Mercy. Equality. Altruism. There's nothing you should do. Do what you want. Mercy isn't Nature's way. She's an equal opportunity killer. We aren't born the same. Some are stronger, smarter, faster. Never apologize for it. Altruism is an impossible concept. There's no action you can make that doesn't spring from how you want to feel about yourself. Not greedy, Dani. Alive. And happy about it every single fucking day. ~ Karen Marie Moning
Equal Opportunity quotes by Karen Marie Moning
You see that honky McNamara on television? He says, "Yes, we are going to draft thirty percent of the Negroes in the Army. This is where they can have equal opportunity. Yeah. Yes ... it's true that they are only ten percent of the population, but this is a better chance for them." When that honky talk about drafting thirty percent black people, he's talking about black urban removal - nothing else. ~ Stokely Carmichael
Equal Opportunity quotes by Stokely Carmichael
There are just as many bitches out there as bastards. Equal opportunity asshole-ism. ~ Kelley Armstrong
Equal Opportunity quotes by Kelley Armstrong
There will be no real content among American women unless they are made and kept more ignorant or unless they are given equal opportunity with men to use what they have been taught. And American men will not be really happy until their women are. ~ Pearl S. Buck
Equal Opportunity quotes by Pearl S. Buck
This myth of meritocracy and equal opportunities encourages individualism over collective action, because when people believe this myth, they obviously see no need for protest movements around particular classes or identities, such as the Women's Movement or the Civil Rights workplace, education or in their personal lives, they are more likely to blame themselves, rather than sexism, racism, class oppression or homophobia; concepts which in current society are often seen as out of date. This type of blame even applies to experiences of actual violence or harassment with too many people believing that it is their fault if they are sexually harassed in the workplace or at school, abused by a partner or are a victim of sexual violence. Our society encourages this view, and in turn, that keeps people isolated and alone, rather than providing them the opportunity to get involved in collective struggles against such common experiences. ~ Finn Mackay
Equal Opportunity quotes by Finn Mackay
Our country is still young and its potential is still enormous. We should remember, as we look toward the future, that the more fully we believe in and achieve freedom and equal opportunity - not simply for ourselves but for others - the greater our accomplishments as a nation will be. ~ Henry Ford
Equal Opportunity quotes by Henry Ford
Our status as a land of equal opportunity has made us a rich and powerful nation, but it has also transformed lives. It has given people like me the chance to grow up knowing that no dream was too big and no goal out of reach. ~ Marco Rubio
Equal Opportunity quotes by Marco Rubio
Mark Twain made black people look like buffoons," [says Michael].
Mort doesn't look up. He doesn't know what we're talking about, but that doesn't stop him from joining the conversation. "Michael," says Mort, "Mark Twain made everybody look like buffoons. He was an equal opportunity buffoon maker. ~ Paul Acampora
Equal Opportunity quotes by Paul Acampora
About Jewish loyalty:
What we have seen from history is practical Jewish approach to the country of residence: loyalty in exchange of the equal opportunity and no persecution. Fair enough? ~ Leo Pevsner
Equal Opportunity quotes by Leo Pevsner
King's an equal opportunity dirtbag, he screws everybody. ~ Michael Spinks
Equal Opportunity quotes by Michael Spinks
Barack knows the American Dream because he's lived it - and he wants everyone in this country to have that same opportunity, no matter who we are, or where we're from, or what we look like, or who we love. ~ Michelle Obama
Equal Opportunity quotes by Michelle Obama
As a senior at Princeton, I felt like the whole world was open to me. In our country, that's not a given. We aspire to be a place of equal opportunity, and yet where you're born determines your prospects. ~ Wendy Kopp
Equal Opportunity quotes by Wendy Kopp
America is among the countries the advance countries with the least equality of opportunity, which means that the - while I prospects of young American, a more dependent on the income and education's parents (ph) than another - other countries. So this notion of equal opportunity is sort of American dream is, is now a myth. ~ Jedediah Bila
Equal Opportunity quotes by Jedediah Bila
When it comes to the company you keep, be an equal opportunity enjoyer. ~ Robert J. Braathe
Equal Opportunity quotes by Robert J. Braathe
The right combination is between a free economy and social policy that addresses the needs of society and creates equal opportunity. ~ Benjamin Netanyahu
Equal Opportunity quotes by Benjamin Netanyahu
I believe comedy should be free to go anywhere. I believe that there is tasteful and untasteful, I think they're very close to each other, and it's how you handle it tonally. But I'm an equal opportunity offender. ~ David Dobkin
Equal Opportunity quotes by David Dobkin
Just call me an equal opportunity ass-kicker. ~ Jeaniene Frost
Equal Opportunity quotes by Jeaniene Frost
The modern church encourages African-American women to keep others' vineyards, while neglecting their own, in two ways: by venerating Black women's performance of strength and depending upon women's labor and financial support to maintain the church, without providing equal opportunity for Black women to exercise their gifts in ministerial leadership; and by distorting Scripture in a way that encourages suffering and self-sacrifice among Black women. ~ Chanequa Walker-Barnes
Equal Opportunity quotes by Chanequa Walker-Barnes
What do you eat?"
"Baby bunnies." She narrowed her eyes, so I grinned and said, "Adult bunnies, too. I'm an equal-opportunity bunny-eater. ~ Maggie Stiefvater
Equal Opportunity quotes by Maggie Stiefvater
stupidity was an equal opportunity condition. ~ Mary Monroe
Equal Opportunity quotes by Mary Monroe
Actually, I love pissing people off. Important people, rich people, dangerous people. I'm an equal-opportunity pisser-offer. ~ Jennifer Estep
Equal Opportunity quotes by Jennifer Estep
The idealized capitalist system first and foremost emphasizes "freedom from" external restrictions on one's ability to rise in society's ranks. At least in theory, people are given equal opportunity to succeed or fail based on their own merits. But a world without restrictions is a competitive one, and people who are more talented, harder working, or simply luckier will have an advantage. As a result, a wide variety of goods and services will exist, but not everyone will have access to the full range of choice available; some people may even be unable to afford basic necessities such as food, housing, and health care.
The idealized communist/socialist system, by contrast, aims for equality of outcomes rather than of opportunities, guaranteeing all its members the "freedom to" obtain an adequate standard of living. The rub is that the additional resources given to those in need have to come from somewhere, or more specifically someone, which means reducing others' "freedom from" and having the state commandeer their property and dictate their economic activities. ~ Sheena Iyengar
Equal Opportunity quotes by Sheena Iyengar
At some point in each person's life, the way is illuminated by a divine light, perceivable not by the senses but by the soul. He is given the end of a golden string and is given to understand that it leads to Heaven's gate. But whether he holds fast and follows it or whether, after a while, he again wanders off on his own-or, what is the same thing, carelessly lets if all from his grasp-is up to him. God's 'equal opportunity policy' of matriculating souls into Heaven is not intended to enforce equality of results (unlike some of our earthly versions) but only to provide true and perfect equality of opportunity. There is no such thing as the salvation of all, as the universalists would have it, or the salvation of only the 'elect', as the Calvinist pre-determinists would have it. There is only the salvation of those who elect it. ~ Steven W. Mosher
Equal Opportunity quotes by Steven W. Mosher
Yes, he's an equal opportunity asshole," Szilard said. "And he's aware of it, which he thinks means it's okay. ~ John Scalzi
Equal Opportunity quotes by John Scalzi
Pierre Trudeau dreamed of a society that afforded all of its citizens an equal opportunity to succeed in life
whatever their background or beliefs, whether rich or poor, ~ Jean Chretien
Equal Opportunity quotes by Jean Chretien
No two individuals are ever the same. You cannot equate people. You can only create equal opportunity. ~ Jaggi Vasudev
Equal Opportunity quotes by Jaggi Vasudev
I was an equal opportunity eater. Every ethnic group got a shot. ~ William J. Clinton
Equal Opportunity quotes by William J. Clinton
Everybody has equal opportunity, and I think that is true for everything. ~ Mukesh Ambani
Equal Opportunity quotes by Mukesh Ambani
Trump is the candidate giving voice to untold millions of fed-up Americans witnessing a purposeful destruction of our economy and the equal opportunity for success that made America exceptional, we're watching career politicians throw away our kids' future through bankrupting public budgets and ripping open our porous borders which, obvious to all us non-politicians, puts us at great risk. ~ Sarah Palin
Equal Opportunity quotes by Sarah Palin
I knew without doubt that if any more of the vampires tried to attack us I'd kill them, too, regardless of apparent age, race, sex, or religious affiliations. I was an equal-opportunity executioner; I killed everybody. ~ Laurell K. Hamilton
Equal Opportunity quotes by Laurell K. Hamilton
This is why we all fight so hard. Not just for the vote, but for an equal opportunity in the world. A vote is a voice. I think you underestimate yourself, Queenie. This is your fight, same as it is mine. ~ Sharon Biggs Waller
Equal Opportunity quotes by Sharon Biggs Waller
This is what America is about when it comes to understanding that it is equal opportunity versus equal achievement. Each and every one of us has the opportunity for greatness in this country. ~ Allen West
Equal Opportunity quotes by Allen West
Offense at Indiana is not equal opportunity. Those players who shoot best are going to shoot most. It is important that every player know his offensive limitations. It is also important that a player know who the best shooter is on the team. When a passer has the option of passing to two players, I expect him to get the ball to the best shooter. I continually stop practice and ask players who the best shooter is and I expect them to know. It is important that you get the ball to your best shooter. ~ Bobby Knight
Equal Opportunity quotes by Bobby Knight
Originally, I thought Republican. Now I'm an equal opportunity politician-hater. ~ Kenneth Fisher
Equal Opportunity quotes by Kenneth Fisher
We have the chance to build this new energy economy in ways that reflect our deepest values of inclusion, diversity, and equal opportunity for everyone. ~ Van Jones
Equal Opportunity quotes by Van Jones
I learned that God was an equal opportunity employer - that it was possible to experience the divine anywhere you were, anywhere you could see the sun and moon rise or set, or burn through the fog. ~ Anne Lamott
Equal Opportunity quotes by Anne Lamott
Of course, in the end a sense of mutual understanding isn't enough. After all, talk is cheap; like any value, empathy must be acted upon. When I was a community organizer back in the eighties, I would often challenge neighborhood leaders by asking them where they put their time, energy, and money. Those are the true tests of what we value, I'd tell them, regardless of what we like to tell ourselves. If we aren't willing to pay a price for our values, if we aren't willing to make some sacrifices in order to realize them, then we should ask ourselves whether we truly believe in them at all.
By these standards at least, it sometimes appears that Americans today value nothing so much as being rich, thin, young, famous, safe, and entertained. We say we value the legacy we leave the next generation and then saddle that generation with mountains of debt. We say we believe in equal opportunity but then stand idle while millions of American children languish in poverty. We insist that we value family, but then structure our economy and organize our lives so as to ensure that our families get less and less of our time.
And yet a part of us knows better. We hang on to our values, even if they seem at times tarnished and worn; even if, as a nation and in our own lives, we have betrayed them more often than we care to remember. What else is there to guide us? Those values are our inheritance, what makes us who we are as a people. And although we recognize that they are subject ~ Barack Obama
Equal Opportunity quotes by Barack Obama
By not standing, I wanted to honor the founding principles of this country - the freedom of self-expression, liberty, and the equal opportunity to pursue happiness - and challenge us to try to reach those goals. ~ Michael Bennett
Equal Opportunity quotes by Michael Bennett
I'm an equal opportunity despiser. ~ Jesse Ventura
Equal Opportunity quotes by Jesse Ventura
But the truth is that I dislike most men as much as I dislike women. If anything, I am an equal opportunity misanthropist. ~ Andrew Davidson
Equal Opportunity quotes by Andrew Davidson
According to Piketty, if r remains at its historical rate of about 5 percent, then all the negative developments related to the inequality from the 19th century will be repeated. These will include disrespect for working people; worshiping of people who do not work and enjoy leisurely life by living at the expense of other people's labor; political acts that disdain equal opportunity and deny democracy; and opportunities for the rich to buy politicians. What logical conclusion can be made from Piketty's research? If this development continues, then by the end of the 21st century, the world's wealth may become the property of a few enormously rich individuals and institutions. Then, 99.9 percent of humans will end up working for a small number of oligarchs, who will accumulate their wealth by virtue of heredity instead of earning it based on merit. ~ I.K. Mullins
Equal Opportunity quotes by I.K. Mullins
I can see why you, sir, are the champ. You bully without regard to race, religion, creed, national origin, or physical abilities. You are an equal-opportunity tormentor. ~ James Patterson
Equal Opportunity quotes by James Patterson
In our democracy every young person should have an equal opportunity to obtain a higher education, regardless of his station in life or financial means. ~ John F. Kennedy
Equal Opportunity quotes by John F. Kennedy
It's just that I have this funny objection to torturing small animals no matter how scrumptious their body parts might be ... Our food industries are equal opportunity abusers: cows, chickens, pigs, and a special mention to those little calves who for their short, miserable lives are locked into crates too small to allow movement just so we can eat veal. ~ Ron Reagan
Equal Opportunity quotes by Ron Reagan
As a nation we must understand that the future of our country depends on education. It has to be right up front and cannot be an afterthought. It is so important that it has to be available for everyone, not just available to those that can afford it. Our country never fared better than when the GI Bill paid for the education of our veterans. I'm not necessarily advocating a free lunch; however it should be affordable for everyone! For politicians to start handing out vouchers is just a gimmick that shifts funding from Public Schools to Charter Schools. The first thing that should be considered is "Equal Opportunity for All!" I recognize that not everyone is academically gifted or inspired to seek a degree, so a Vocational Technical education may be a viable option for some. ~ Hank Bracker
Equal Opportunity quotes by Hank Bracker
The core principle is that we want an economy that works for everyone, not just for a small elite. We want equal opportunity, not equality of outcome. We want to make sure that there's upward mobility again, in our society and in our economy. ~ Robert Reich
Equal Opportunity quotes by Robert Reich
Not everyone has equal abilities, but everyone should have equal opportunity for education. ~ John F. Kennedy
Equal Opportunity quotes by John F. Kennedy
A virus has neither pride nor prejudice.
It's an equal opportunity infector. ~ Khang Kijarro Nguyen
Equal Opportunity quotes by Khang Kijarro Nguyen
What does it mean to be an American? While each of us may have our own specific answer to that question, we likely can agree on the basic principles of America: freedom, equal opportunity, and rights accompanied by responsibilities. ~ Ben Nelson
Equal Opportunity quotes by Ben Nelson
The Buddha gave equal opportunities to women. But we, even as followers of Buddha, neglected that. ~ Dalai Lama
Equal Opportunity quotes by Dalai Lama
I had equal opportunity to touch God sitting in my room, singing Him songs, as I did on a stage in front of twenty thousand people. ~ Anna Blanc
Equal Opportunity quotes by Anna Blanc
The songwriting style, to me, is superior ... there was a certain amount of joy in it, no matter how sad the song is. You get joy in listening to these Buddy Holly or Roy Orbison sad lyrics. I'm attracted to songs that have balance between the darks and the lights and giving them all equal opportunity. ~ M. Ward
Equal Opportunity quotes by M. Ward
And being an "equal opportunity offender" - as in, "It's okay, because Daniel Tosh makes fun of ALL people: women, men, AIDS victims, dead babies, gay guys, blah blah blah" - falls apart when you remember (as so many of us are forced to all the time) that all people are not in equal positions of power. "Oh, don't worry - I punch everyone in the face! People, baby ducks, a lion, this Easter Island statue, the ocean…" Okay, well that baby duck is dead now. ~ Lindy West
Equal Opportunity quotes by Lindy West
Liberty will never yield equality. Freewill produces a mess that you either accept or reject in favor of slavery. ~ A.E. Samaan
Equal Opportunity quotes by A.E. Samaan
There are so many funny women in the world, and there has been for so many years, so I'll be happy when people can just move on from that, and things can just be 'comedies' and not 'female' or 'male,' and everyone gets an equal opportunity. ~ Kristen Wiig
Equal Opportunity quotes by Kristen Wiig
Liberty creates an environment where all living beings within a society have an equal opportunity to exercise freedom. An equal opportunity to exercise freedom would further infer that, in liberty, living beings have equal access to knowledge and experience. Knowledge and experience are both inseparable from freedom. Liberty is balanced societal freedom and may also be considered balanced knowledge and experience. With equal access to knowledge and experience, living beings have an equal opportunity to enhance their abilities. Liberty is perceived as true freedom because it maximizes the opportunities for most living beings within a society. ~ C W Newman
Equal Opportunity quotes by C W Newman
I prefer to be an equal-opportunity offender of the guitar. ~ Rick Nielsen
Equal Opportunity quotes by Rick Nielsen
Unplanned pregnancy is an equal-opportunity affliction. ~ Ann McLane Kuster
Equal Opportunity quotes by Ann McLane Kuster
Much of my adult life has been spent fighting for equal opportunity, and the idea that I would support limiting opportunity for any segment of society, particularly women, is antithetical to who I am and what I have done. ~ Paul Tudor Jones
Equal Opportunity quotes by Paul Tudor Jones
We aspire to be equal opportunity, but all across the country where a student is born, their race, their class affect where they end up. ~ Wendy Kopp
Equal Opportunity quotes by Wendy Kopp
We say we value the legacy we leave the next generation and then saddle that generation with mountains of debt. We say we believe in equal opportunity but then stand idle while millions of American children languish in poverty. We insist that we value family, but then structure our economy and organize our lives so as to ensure that our families get less and less of our time. ~ Barack Obama
Equal Opportunity quotes by Barack Obama
Structural racism is never a case of innocent and pure, persecuted people of colour versus white people intent on evil and malice. Rather, it is about how Britain's relationship with race infects and distorts equal opportunity. I think that we placate ourselves with the fallacy of meritocracy by insisting that we just don't see race. This makes us feel progressive. But this claim to not see race is tantamount to compulsory assimilation. My blackness has been politicised against my will, but I don't want it willfully ignored in an effort to instil some sort of precarious, false harmony. And, though many placate themselves with the colour-blindness lie, the aforementioned drastic differences in life chances along race lines show that while it might be being preached by our institutions, it's not being practised. ~ Reni Eddo-Lodge
Equal Opportunity quotes by Reni Eddo-Lodge
...America went off the track somewhere--back around the time of the Civil War, or pretty soon afterwards. Instead of going ahead and developing along the line in which the country started out, it got shunted off in another direction...Suddenly we realize that America has turned into something ugly...and the worst of it is the intellectual dishonesty which all this corruption has bred...People are afraid to think straight--afraid to face themselves...We've become like a nation of advertising men, all hiding behind catch phrases like "prosperity" and "rugged individualism" and "the American way." And the real things like freedom, and equal opportunity and the integrity and worth of the individual...they have become just words too. ~ Thomas Wolfe
Equal Opportunity quotes by Thomas Wolfe
Time is an equal opportunity employer. Each human being has exactly the same number of hours and minutes every day. Rich people can't buy more hours. Scientists can't invent new minutes. And you can't save time to spend it on another day. Even so, time is amazingly fair and forgiving. No matter how much time you've wasted in the past, you still have an entire tomorrow. ~ Denis Waitley
Equal Opportunity quotes by Denis Waitley
The erosion of equal opportunity is among the greatest threats to our exceptionalism as a nation. But it also provides us with an exciting and historic opportunity: to help more people than ever achieve the American Dream. ~ Marco Rubio
Equal Opportunity quotes by Marco Rubio
The ugliest thing in America is greed, the lust for power and domination, the lunatic ideology of perpetual Growth - with a capital G. 'Progress' in our nation has for too long been confused with 'Growth'; I see the two as different, almost incompatible, since progress means, or should mean, change for the better - toward social justice, a livable and open world, equal opportunity and affirmative action for all forms of life. And I mean all forms, not merely the human. The grizzly, the wolf, the rattlesnake, the condor, the coyote, the crocodile, whatever, each and every species has as much right to be here as we do. ~ Edward Abbey
Equal Opportunity quotes by Edward Abbey
The Brown decision promised that every child, regardless of the color of his or her skin, would have unequivocal access to quality education and an equal opportunity to pursue his/her dreams. ~ Ed Markey
Equal Opportunity quotes by Ed Markey
The paradox of American democracy has been that its slogan of equal opportunity has meant, often, equal opportunity to get power over your fellows. ~ Mary Parker Follett
Equal Opportunity quotes by Mary Parker Follett
The Founding Fathers and our fathers are rolling over in their graves as this great country voluntarily abandons its dreams of equal opportunity, achievement and prosperity and sows the seeds of its own destruction. ~ David Limbaugh
Equal Opportunity quotes by David Limbaugh
The act of our creation is equal for all of us. The results of our creation are not. The goal of our Founding Fathers was to treat everyone equally under the law, and as such, provide for equality of opportunity, not results. ~ A.E. Samaan
Equal Opportunity quotes by A.E. Samaan
Middle America believes in fair play, an equal opportunity to succeed or to fail. ~ Mark McKinnon
Equal Opportunity quotes by Mark McKinnon
Just because I'm a reporter doesn't mean I don't get to have an opinion about people."
"And your opinion of me is?"
"Very low."
His eyes narrowed infinitesimally. "Is it my hair?"
I flinched back, automatically checking out his hair. "No. There's nothing wrong with your hair."
"You don't like Star Wars?" He gestured to his shirt. "You're a Trekkie? You should know, I'm an equal opportunity space drama aficionado, whether it be BattleSTAR Galactica, STAR Trek, or STAR - "
"I get it, you like science fiction."
"Ah ha!" He lifted his index finger between us.
"Ah ha, what?"
"You're a fantasy reader, aren't you? That's what's going on. What's your favorite TV show? Buffy the Vampire Slayer, right?"
I lifted an eyebrow and crossed my arms, disliking that he'd guessed correctly. "What I read and watch isn't the central issue."
"Have you received your Hogwarts letter?" he asked, and his tone was so serious, I almost mistook it for a real question ~ Penny Reid
Equal Opportunity quotes by Penny Reid
I have an equal opportunity womb! ~ Maya Rudolph
Equal Opportunity quotes by Maya Rudolph
The Martha Stewart trial makes clear how far women have risen in the business world. America can be proud of our equal-opportunity prosecution and conviction. ~ Rosabeth Moss Kanter
Equal Opportunity quotes by Rosabeth Moss Kanter
A modern factory reaches perhaps almost the limit of horror. Everybody in it is constantly harassed and kept on edge by the interference of extraneous wills while the soul is left in cold desolate misery. What man needs is silence and warmth; what he is given is an icy pandemonium. Physical labor may be painful, but it is not degrading as such. It is not art; it is not science; it is something else, possessing an exactly equal value with art and science, for it provides an equal opportunity to reach the impersonal stage of attention. ~ Simone Weil
Equal Opportunity quotes by Simone Weil
There are some die-hard male chauvinist pigs and there are some Neanderthal women who are threatened by equality - but the great majority, polls say 65% to 75% of women of America, of all ages, absolutely identify with the complete agenda of the women's movement: equal opportunity for jobs, education, professional training, the right to control your own body - your own reproductive process, freedom of choice, child care-the whole agenda. ~ Betty Friedan
Equal Opportunity quotes by Betty Friedan
[Louis] Brandeis, like [Tomas] Jefferson, is an equal opportunity critic of bigness. And he, like Jefferson, sees American history as this incredible clash between small producers, farmers, and small business people on the one hand, and wicked oligarchs and financiers and monopolists on the other. ~ Jeffrey Rosen
Equal Opportunity quotes by Jeffrey Rosen
As a philanthropist, I try to help people take ownership. Everything I've done is rooted in the notion that every human being is born equally capable. What people lack is equal opportunity. ~ Pierre Omidyar
Equal Opportunity quotes by Pierre Omidyar
Everyone is born equally capable but lacks equal opportunity. ~ Pierre Omidyar
Equal Opportunity quotes by Pierre Omidyar
The government of India and the government of Jammu and Kashmir are determined to ensure that every Kashmiri lives with dignity having equal rights and equal opportunities. ~ Pranab Mukherjee
Equal Opportunity quotes by Pranab Mukherjee
For me, Barack Obama's election was a milestone of the most extraordinary kind. On the day he was elected I felt such hope in my heart. I thought we were seeing the beginning of a new era of equal opportunity across race and gender such as America had never known before. ~ Jesse Jackson
Equal Opportunity quotes by Jesse Jackson
America guarantees equal opportunity, not equal outcome. ~ Rush Limbaugh
Equal Opportunity quotes by Rush Limbaugh
America's 'social contract' is equal opportunity ... yet we have failed in achieving that seminal goal. ~ George Kaiser
Equal Opportunity quotes by George Kaiser
Power corrupts on an equal-opportunity basis. ~ Jacqueline Novogratz
Equal Opportunity quotes by Jacqueline Novogratz
The promise of the American Dream requires that we are all provided an equal opportunity to participate in and contribute to our nation. ~ Charles B. Rangel
Equal Opportunity quotes by Charles B. Rangel
Yale is a crucible in American life for the accommodation of intellectual achievement, of wisdom, of refinement, with the democratic ideals of openness, of social justice and of equal opportunity. ~ Benno C. Schmidt, Jr.
Equal Opportunity quotes by Benno C. Schmidt, Jr.
Equal opportunity is good, but special privilege is better. ~ Anna Chennault
Equal Opportunity quotes by Anna Chennault
