His lordship may compel us to be equal upstairs, but there will never be equality in the servants hall.

I would rather be a servant in the House of the Lord than to sit in the seats of the mighty.
The world is not looking for servants, there are plenty of these, but for masters, men who form their purposes and then carry them out, let the consequences be what they may.
That all men are equal is a proposition to which, at ordinary times, no sane human being has ever given his assent.
Thank God that at least in one place, all men are equal: in the church of God. I do not consider it any degradation to kneel side by side with a Negro in the house of our Heavenly Father.
I believe in servant leadership, and the servant always asks, 'Where am I needed most?'

But assuming the same premises, to wit, that all men are equal by the law of nature and of nations, the right of property in slaves falls to the ground; for one who is equal to another cannot be the owner or property of that other.
All men are not created equal but should be treated as though they were under the law.
All men are by nature equal, made all of the same earth by one Workman; and however we deceive ourselves, as dear unto God is the poor peasant as the mighty prince.
