All men have an equal right to the free development of their faculties; they have an equal right to the impartial protection of the state; but it is not true, it is against all the laws of reason and equity, it is against the eternal nature of things.
Victor Cousin

Jim Rogers

In any architecture, there is an equity between the pragmatic function and the symbolic function.
Michael Graves

It cannot be assumed that equity was following common law whenever they agreed, any more than the converse.
Frederick Pollock

Law and equity are two things which God has joined, but which man has put asunder.

Jacques Delors

The truth, Prime Minister, is that you have run out of our money. The country as a whole is now in negative equity. Every British child is born owing around 20,000 pounds. Servicing the interest on that debt is going to cost more than educating the child.
Daniel Hannan

There is but one law for all, namely that law which governs all law, the law of our Creator, the law of humanity, justice, equity - the law of nature and of nations.
Edmund Burke

This desire for equity must not lead to an excess of welfare, where nobody is responsible for anything.

Timothy Geithner

When I hear of an 'equity' in a case like this, I am reminded of a blind man in a dark room - looking for a black hat - which isn't there.
Charles Bowen
