Réorganiser, sans dieu ni roi, par le culte systématique de l’Humanité.
Nul n’a droit qu’à faire son devoir.
L’esprit doit toujours être le ministre du coeur, et jamais son esclave.
Reorganisation, irrespectively of God or king, by the worship of Humanity, systematically adopted.
Man’s only right is to do his duty.
The Intellect should always be the servant of the Heart, and should never be its slave.
