Quote by Thomas Aquinas

By nature all men are equal in liberty, but not in other endowments.

By nature all men are equal in liberty, but not in other end

Summary

This quote suggests that all individuals possess equal freedom or liberty inherently. However, it acknowledges that this equality does not extend to other qualities or capabilities individuals may possess. It implies that while everyone should have the same opportunity to exercise their freedom, people naturally differ in other talents, abilities, or attributes. In essence, it recognizes that individuals are born with different endowments but emphasizes the importance of ensuring equal access and protection of liberty for all.
