Note 1259 — Chapter III · : THE SOLIDARISTS

“There are some debts which are hardly noticed at all, but which ought to be paid all the same.” (Bourgeois, Philosophie de la Solidarité, p. 60.) “There is a real claim where we thought there was only a moral obligation, and a debt where we thought there was only a sacrifice.” As the Gospel says: “Unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required.” (Luke xii, 48.) “So that ye come behind in no gift.” (1 Corinthians i, 7.)
