In America Everybody Is Of The Opinion That He Has No Social Superio

HomeFortune CookiesMiscellaneous Collections

In America everybody is of the opinion that he has no social superiors,
since all men are equal, but he does not admit that he has no social
inferiors, for, from the time of Jefferson onward, the doctrine that
all men are equal applies only upwards, not downwards.
-- Bertrand Russell
