I don't think that quote was meant for "all men are physically equal". Since it's usually discussed when talking about racism and anti-semitism.

I think the thing is that all people are born as people. Or that everyone has just as many feelings are you do (unless you are a sociopath [*coughAeoliancough*])

It's kind of a "treat others the way you want to be treated" kind of thing. Just said like every man in a history book would say it.
