Excerpt from The English Republic
Liberty - Equality - Fraternity: these words are the battle-cry of the Repub lican,-the formula of his faith, without the understanding whereof there is no political salvation. Liberty-equality - Fraternity, - each and all, indissolubly united. Any attempt to solve the problem of the government or regulation of society, without due regard to each of these three terms, must be a failure.
Equality refers to the ground upon which we would build, rather than to the building: that is to say, equality is a means, not merely an end.
Liberty may be defined as the unchecked opportunity of growth: a means, also and not an end.
Fraternity is the link which makes free and equal members constitute Humanity: it is the completion of the triple law of human development.
