The strictest justice and the rights of humanity: the right of manhood, womanhood, childhood, irrespective of all distinctions of birth, race, or creed. The right to live and the obligation to work to maintain that right. Service from each to all and from all to each. If this idea appears appalling and prodigious to the existent bourgeois society, so much the worse for this Society. * 4 ...nature, whose actions, not being limited by time, but operating incessantly, overturn and destroy all those vain regulations which contradict her laws. It is not only in the fine arts that the imitation of nature is the fundamental principle; it is the same in sound policy, which is no other than the art of uniting and directing to the same end the natural and immutable sentiments of mankind. * 5 While you are not able to serve men, how can you serve their spirits? * 6 Our commitment to fighting for a world with racial, economic, gender, and disability justice are the water, soil, and nutrients that feed our work. * 7 ...it is certainly impossible to live and to act with men, without employing different names to distinguish the humane from the cruel, and the benevolent from the selfish. * 8 I want you to go away with an eternal hatred in your breast of injustice, of aristocracy, of caste, of the idea that one man has more rights than another because he has better clothes, more land, more money, because he owns a railroad, or is famous and in high position. Remember that all men have equal rights. Remember that the man who acts best his part -- who loves his friends the best -- is most willing to help others -- truest to the discharge of obligation -- who has the best heart -- the most feeling -- the deepest sympathies -- and who freely gives to others the rights that he claims for himself is the best man. I am willing to swear to this. * 9 Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever effects one directly, affects all indirectly. * 10 Injustice to one is injustice to all. * 11 ...the idea of good is the highest knowledge, and that all other things become useful and advantageous only by their use of this. * 12 ...justice involves in addition a regard for those toward whom the action goes out. For this reason justice is also defined as virtue... * 13 The urge for social justice can only develop properly and be effective when it grows out of man's sense of freedom and responsibility, and is based upon it. * 14 It is there [in society] that the fugitive slave, and the Mexican prisoner on parole, and the Indian come to plead the wrongs of his race should find them; on that separate but more free and honorable ground, where the State places those who are not with her, but against her—the only house in a slave State in which a free man can abide with honor. If any think that their influence would be lost there, and their voices no longer afflict the ear of the State, that they would not be as an enemy within its walls, they do not know by how much truth is stronger than error, nor how much more eloquently and effectively he can combat injustice who has experienced a little in his own person. * 15 ...all men, who are brothers; that, as brothers, they must be good and just to each other, and practice every virtue... * 16 Human suffering anywhere concerns men and women everywhere.
