The perfection of our union especially our commitment to equality of opportunity has been a story of constant striving to live up to our Founding principles. This is what Abraham Lincoln meant when he said 'In giving freedom to the slave we assure freedom to the free - honorable alike in what we give and what we preserve.'

Democracy... is a charming form of government full of variety and disorder and dispensing a sort of equality to equals and unequals alike.

People are pretty much alike. It's only that our differences are more susceptible to definition than our similarities.

My dad is a Jack Nicholson lookalike and a frustrated performer my mother's into reading and poetry. I suppose the thing I owe them most is my confidence.

It frequently happens that two persons reasoning right on a mechanical subject think alike and invent the same thing without any communication with each other.

My point is that perceptual bias can affect nut jobs and scientists alike. If we hold too rigidly to what we think we know we ignore or avoid evidence of anything that might change our mind.

Discount air fares a car in every parking space and the interstate highway system have made every place accessible - and every place alike.

If liberty and equality as is thought by some are chiefly to be found in democracy they will be best attained when all persons alike share in government to the utmost.

It is not best that we should all think alike it is a difference of opinion that makes horse races.

In giving freedom to the slave we assure freedom to the free - honorable alike in what we give and what we preserve. We shall nobly save or meanly lose the last best hope of earth.
