Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. Hear now, O house of Israel! Is not my way equal? are not your ways unequal?—Ezekiel, xviii. 25.
’Twere better, O my son,
To cultivate Equality, who joins
Friends, cities, heroes in one steadfast league;
For by the laws of Nature through the world
Equality was established: …
Equality, among the human race,
Measures and weights and numbers hath ordained.
Euripides, The Phœnician Damsels, tr. Wodhull.
