Equality

Whereas, God Almighty has given to every man one mouth to be fed and one pair of hands adapted to furnish food for that mouth; if anything can be proved to be the will of Heaven it is proved by this fact, that that mouth is to be fed by those hands, without being interfered with by any other man who has also his mouth to feed and his hands to labor with.

 I hold, if the Almighty had ever made a set of men that should do all the eating and none of the work, He would have made them with mouths only and no hands; and if He had made another class, that He intended should do all the work and none of the eating, He would have made them without mouths and with all hands.

-Lincoln
