"God is every man's pedigree. He is either the Father of all men or of no man. The image of God is either in every man or in no man." - Rabbi Abraham J. Heschel
"Equality is an obstacle to callousness, setting a limit to power. Indeed, the history of mankind may be described as the history of the tension between power and equality. "
"Equality is an interpersonal relationship, involving both a claim and recognition. My claim to equality has it's logical basis in the recognition of my fellow men's identical claim. Do I not forfeit my own rights by denying my fellow men the rights I claim for myself."
"Man, every man, must be treated with the honor due to a likeness representing the King of Kings."
"The redeeming quality of man lies in his ability to sense his kinship with all men."
