The only difference between man and man all the world over is one of degree, and not of kind, even as there is between trees of the same species. Where in is the cause for anger, envy or discrimination?

Mahatma Gandhi
About This Quote

It is the belief of many philosophers, including Aristotle, that all human beings are equal. The only difference between man and man all over the world is one of degree, not of kind. This means that no matter how far apart two people are in terms of intelligence or social status, they are still the same species—human beings.
