Equality, in a social sense, may be divided into that of condition and that of rights. Equality of condition is incompatible with civilization, and is found only to exist in those communities that are but slightly removed from the savage state.

Nor was civil society founded merely to preserve the lives of its members; but that they might live well: for otherwise a state might be composed of slaves, or the animal creation... nor is it an alliance mutually to defend each other from injuries, or for a commercial intercourse. But whosoever endeavors to establish wholesome laws in a state, attends to the virtues and vices of each individual who composes it; from whence it is evident, that the first care of him who would found a city, truly deserving that name, and not nominally so, must be to have his citizens virtuous. (Tucker Benjamin Ricketson)

Society is indeed a contract. It is a partnership in all science; a partnership in all art; a partnership in every virtue, and in all perfection. As the ends of such a partnership cannot be obtained in many generations, it becomes a partnership not only between those who are living, but between those who are living, those who are dead, and those who are to be born. (Tucker Benjamin Ricketson)
We call it a Society; and go about professing openly the totalest separation, isolation. Our life is not a mutual helpfulness; but rather, cloaked under due laws-of-war, named fair competition and so forth, it is a mutual hostility. (Tucker Benjamin Ricketson)

Society is divided into two classes, the shearers and the shorn. (Tucker Benjamin Ricketson)
We can imagine a society in which no one could survive as a social being because it does not correspond to biologically determined perceptions and human social needs. For historical reasons, existing societies might have such properties, leading to various forms of pathology. (Tucker Benjamin Ricketson)
The circumstances of human society are too complicated to be submitted to the rigor of mathematical calculation. (Tucker Benjamin Ricketson)
You can tell all you need to about a society from how it treats animals and beaches. (Tucker Benjamin Ricketson)

Society always consists in the greatest part, of young and foolish persons. (Tucker Benjamin Ricketson)
Society everywhere is in conspiracy against the manhood of every one of its members. The virtue in most request is conformity. Self-reliance is its aversion. It loves not realities and creators, but names and customs. (Tucker Benjamin Ricketson)
