Everyone is born equally capable but lacks equal opportunity.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The latitude and longitudinal lines of where you are born determine your opportunity in life, and it's not equal. We may have been created equal, but we're not born equal. It's a lot to do with luck and you have to pass that on.
You can be born into privilege, or you can not be born into privilege. You can be born into the opposite extreme and into poverty. I think from there on, though, you really do have to make your luck.
Some degree of inequality in income and wealth, of course, would occur even with completely equal opportunity because variations in effort, skill, and luck will produce variations in outcomes.
We are also further than ever from equality of opportunity.
Ability is nothing without opportunity.
All children should have equal opportunities.
All men are born equally free.
It is to be remarked that a good many people are born curiously unfitted for the fate waiting them on this earth.
Everybody has equal opportunity, and I think that is true for everything.
This is what America is about when it comes to understanding that it is equal opportunity versus equal achievement. Each and every one of us has the opportunity for greatness in this country.
