Quote

Everyone is born equally capable but lacks equal opportunity.

We live in a very unequal society.

We are confronted with insurmountable opportunities.

Conservatives often say that we should care not about equality of outcomes but about equality of opportunity.

And of course, we know that opportunity lies outside the reach of some of our people. We don't need flowery words about inequality to tell us that, and we don't need a party that has led while poverty and hunger rose to record levels to give us lectures about suffering.

We live in a world where equality is pretty important.

It always remains true that if we had been greater, circumstance would have been less strong against us.

No advance in wealth, no softening of manners, no reform or revolution has ever brought human equality a millimeter nearer.
