Equality before Liberty

"A society that aims for equality before liberty will end up with neither equality nor liberty.  And a society that aims first for liberty will not end up with equality, but it will end up with a closer approach to equality than any other system that has ever been developed."-Milton Friedman

It is theoretically possible to have equality if we guarantee our liberty, but I don't think we can guarantee equality without redefining what liberty is.
