Quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson 

"We grant no dukedoms to the few,
We hold like rights and shall;
Equal on Sunday in the pew,
On Monday in the mall.
For what avail the plough or sail,
Or land, or life, if freedom fail?"

Quote by:
Ralph Waldo Emerson
(1803-1882) American essayist, lecturer, and poet
