He stepped down from his comfortable life to join the masses on their level to seek equality with them. "I can't hope to bring about economic equality... I have to reduce myself to the level of the poorest of the poor."

Freedom is indivisible; the chains on any one of my people were the chains on all of them, the chains on all of my people were the chains on me.

Jah come to break downpression, rule equality, wipe away transgression, set the captives free.

I believe the Declaration that 'all men are created equal' is the great fundamental principle upon which our free institutions rest.

Any man who seeks to deny equality among all his brothers betrays the spirit of the free and invites the mockery of the tyrant.

Those who cherish their freedom and recognize and respect the equal right of their neighbors to be free and live in peace must work together for the triumph of law and moral principles in order that peace, justice, and confidence may prevail in the world.
