It seems that when you have cancer you are a brave battler against the disease, but when you have Alzheimer's you are an old fart. That's how people see you. It makes you feel quite alone.
Terry Pratchett
Image
As long as poverty, injustice and gross inequality persist in our world, none of us can truly rest.
Nelson Mandela
Image
Yesterday was not only daylight saving time, but also International Women's Day. What better way to address the issue of inequality for women than giving them a day that's missing an hour.
David Letterman
Image
Only a well-organized movement of young people, educators, workers, parents, religious groups and other concerned citizens will be capable of changing the power relations and vast economic inequalities that have generated what has become a country in which it is almost impossible to recognize the ideals of a real democracy.
Henry Giroux
Image
The most important problem for our world to solve is the inequality of men and women.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Democracy has two excesses to avoid: the spirit of inequality, which leads to an aristocracy, or to the government of a single individual and the spirit of extreme equality, which conducts it to despotism, as the despotism of a single individual finishes by conquest.
Baron de Montesquieu
Image
Racial inequality has gotten worse in the last years because any time you have a moribund economy, the people who historically have had more problems getting jobs have suffered. And that, I think, is triggering a lot of the animosity.
Victor Davis Hanson
Image
Government mitigates the inequality of power, and makes an innocent man, though of the lowest rank, a match for the mightiest of his fellow-subjects.
Joseph Addison
Image
The man of great wealth owes a peculiar obligation to the state because he derives special advantages from the mere existence of government.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
There are two economic realities in America today. There's been a record six straight years of job growth, and new census numbers show incomes have increased at a record rate after years of stagnation. However, income inequality remains significant, and nearly half of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck.
Lester Holt
Image
In the U.S. when people like me started writing things about inequality, the economic journals had no classification for inequality. I couldn't find where to submit my inequality papers because there was no such topic. There was welfare, there was health issues, there was trade obviously. Finance had hundreds of sub groups.
Branko Milanovic
Image
When inequality gets to an extreme, it is completely useless for growth.
Thomas Piketty
Image
American inequality didn't just happen. It was created.
Joseph Stiglitz
Image
Socialism violates at least three of the Ten Commandments: It turns government into God, it legalizes thievery and it elevates covetousness. Discussions of income inequality, after all, aren't about prosperity but about petty spite. Why should you care how much money I make, so long as you are happy?
Ben Shapiro
Image
The entire social order ... is arrayed against a woman who wants to rise to a man's reputation.
Madame de Stael
Image
My biggest weakness as a endurance athlete has been in not drinking enough water after training, thereby racing sometimes while dehydrated.
Bill Rodgers
Image
For me, being leftist means fighting against injustice and inequality but, most of all, we want to live well.
Evo Morales
Image
What is a ruin but time easing itself of endurance?
Djuna Barnes
Image
Popular privileges are consistent with a state of society in which there is great inequality of position. Democratic rights, on the contrary, demand that there should be equality of condition as the fundamental basis of the society they regulate.
Benjamin Disraeli
Image
Private property implies exclusivity, inequality, and difference.
Hans-Hermann Hoppe
Image
You have to be interested in inequality. The issue of inequality and that of poverty are not separable.
Amartya Sen
Image
We work harder and we earn less. Income inequality is at the highest point in over a century. While American capitalism never guaranteed success, it did guarantee opportunity, for too many, the dream of economic mobility has been replaced with a nightmare of economic stagnation.
Mario Cuomo
Image
Desire, ignorance, and inequality—this is the trinity of bondage.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The Pope appeals for disinterested solidarity and for a return to person-centred ethics in the world of finance and economics.
