I am going to assume that you are speaking about equality in the United State because of the category that you placed it in. The quotations that deal with equality are very numerous and very varied, however, the best, at least in my opinion are as follows: "Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal." ~Abe Lincoln; "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character." ~MLK Jr.; "If liberty and equality, as is thought by some, are chiefly to be found in democracy, they will be best attained when all persons alike share in government to the utmost." ~Aristotle; and "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." ~Thomas Jefferson. These quotes come from thousands of years before the founding of the US and during internal turmoil that the United States were facing. These show that equality does exist and it will continue to exist.
