• Ne nous lassons pas de le répéter, songer, avant tout aux foules déshéritées et douloureuses, les soulager, les aérer, les éclairer, les aimer, leur élargir magnifiquement l'horizon, leur prodiguer sous toutes les formes l'éducation, leur offrir l'exemple du labeur, jamais l'exemple de l'oisiveté, amoindrir le poids du fardeau individuel en accroissant la notion du but universel, limiter la pauvreté sans limiter la richesse, créer de vastes champs d'activité publique et populaire, avoir comme Briarée cent mains à tendre de toutes parts aux accablés et aux faibles, employer la puissance collective à ce grand devoir d'ouvrir des ateliers à tous les bras, des écoles à toutes les aptitudes et des laboratoires à toutes les intelligences, augmenter le salaire, diminuer la peine, balancer le doit et l'avoir, c'est-à-dire proportionner la jouissance à l'effort et l'assouvissement au besoin, en un mot, faire dégager à l'appareil social, au profit de ceux qui souffrent et de ceux qui ignorent, plus de clarté et plus de bien-être, c'est là, que les âmes sympathiques ne l'oublient pas, la première des obligations fraternelles, c'est, que les coeurs égoïstes le sachent, la première des nécessités politiques.

  Let us not weary of repeating, and sympathetic souls must not forget that this is the first of fraternal obligations, and selfish hearts must understand that the first of political necessities consists in thinking first of all of the disinherited and sorrowing throngs, in solacing, airing, enlightening, loving them, in enlarging their horizon to a magnificent extent, in lavishing upon them education in every form, in offering them the example of labor, never the example of idleness, in diminishing the individual burden by enlarging the notion of the universal aim, in setting a limit to poverty without setting a limit to wealth, in creating vast fields of public and popular activity, in having, like Briareus, a hundred hands to extend in all directions to the oppressed and the feeble, in employing the collective power for that grand duty of opening workshops for all arms, schools for all aptitudes, and laboratories for all degrees of intelligence, in augmenting salaries, diminishing trouble, balancing what should be and what is, that is to say, in proportioning enjoyment to effort and a glut to need; in a word, in evolving from the social apparatus more light and more comfort for the benefit of those who suffer and those who are ignorant.
