The man who insists he is as good as anybody, believes he is better.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

It is better that some should be unhappy than that none should be happy, which would be the case in a general state of equality.

It is the American vice, the democratic disease which expresses its tyranny by reducing everything unique to the level of the herd.

The Lord so constituted everybody that no matter what color you are you require the same amount of nourishment.

Inside the polling booth every American man and woman stands as the equal of every other American man and woman. There they have no superiors. There they have no masters save their own minds and consciences.

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.
