"The seventh principle of Baha'u'llah is: The Equality of Men -- equality before the Law
The Law must reign, and not the individual; thus will the world become a place of beauty and true brotherhood will be realized. Having attained solidarity, men will have found truth."
-- 'Abdu'l-Baha, Paris Talks, p. 135

The sixth principle of Baha'u'llah is: Equal opportunity
"The sixth principle of Baha'u'llah is: Equal opportunity of the means of Existence.
Every human being has the right to live; they have a right to rest, and to a certain amount of well-being. As a rich man is able to live in his palace surrounded by luxury and the greatest comfort, so should a poor man be able to have the necessaries of life. Nobody should die of hunger; everybody should have sufficient clothing; one man should not live in excess while another has no possible means of existence.
Let us try with all the strength we have to bring about happier conditions, so that no single soul may be destitute."
-- 'Abdu'l-Baha, Paris Talks, pp. 134 - 135
