Income inequality is troubling because, among other things, it means that many people in our society don't have the opportunities to advance themselves.

There's no doubt that inequality destabilizes societies. I think the social science evidence on that front is crystal clear.

Indians today are governed by two different ideologies. Their political ideal set in the preamble of the Constitution affirms a life of liberty, equality and fraternity. Their social ideal embodied in their religion denies them.

Too often, customary practices and discrimination on the basis of gender, ethnicity, race, religion, social status, or class are the root sources of pervasive inequality in many countries.

I like the religion that teaches liberty, equality and fraternity.

As algorithms push humans out of the job market, wealth and power might become concentrated in the hands of the tiny elite that owns the all-powerful algorithms, creating unprecedented social and political inequality. Alternatively, the algorithms might themselves become the owners.

All men are created equal, it is only men themselves who place themselves above equality.

You can't solve a problem as complex as inequality in one legal clause.

I always felt the 'X-Men,' in a subtle way, often touched upon the subject of racism and inequality, and I believe that subject has come up in other titles, too. But we would never pound hard on the subject, which must be handled with care and intelligence.

We're all burdened by our history of racial inequality. It's created a kind of smog that we all breathe in, and it has prevented us from being healthy.

White people need to wake up and tell the truth about US history and the inequality and the ways in which racism is so entrenched.

We need to intentionally invest in health, in home ownership, in entrepreneurship, in access to democracy, in economic empowerment. If we don't do these things, we shouldn't be surprised that racial inequality persists because inequalities compound.

The literature associating inequality with social instability and poor health outcomes is pretty convincing.

Our failure as a society to properly acknowledge and confront the psychological, social, and political effects of white privilege has perpetuated racial inequality and race-based political resentments.

One of the privileges of my adult life has been meeting pioneers of LGBT equality, particularly Waheed Alli, Michael Cashman and Ian McKellen.

As equalities minister, I am responsible for promoting equality of opportunity for everyone.

The United States is a country founded on the ideal of freedom and equality, values later underlined by key historical figures like Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King.

Equality legislation, and audits on gender pay gaps, ethnicity and disability, - within companies and public authorities - all aim to stamp out the informal transfer of power through social networks, in favour of appointment through genuine merit.

The Labour party is the greatest champion of equality and opportunity this country has even known.

It's not going to be my political raison d'etre, I think it would be presumptuous to take a leadership role. But I would want to make sure that we support equality.

Equality means allowing people to achieve their full potential - for themselves and for their country.

We want Black and White to be treated equally in this country, but we cannot heal this country, we can't save race relations, we can't accomplish equality, we can't serve justice, off of lies.

Striving for equality and working together with people different from us is what America is all about, because beneath our differences we are bound by a common humanity we all share.

We've come quite far with the idea of equality between sexes, but there's still a lot of conversations that need to be had about men in power.
