About This Quote

All men are equal before fish. This quote is usually used in a slightly different context, but the underlying idea is the same. People tend to think they are better than others because of their achievements or status, but this is not always the case. In fact, the great hunter and poet Henry David Thoreau was fond of quoting this phrase.

In his book, Walden , he wrote: “In all communities, rich and poor, men have been found who have been so lost to self-respect as to treat basely or inhumanly those who were more highly favored by fate. And yet how often the greater number of mankind has been compassionate!”
