Justice Is Achieved Only When

Liberty Is An Acknowledgement Of Faith In God And His Works.

But We Assure The Socialists That We Repudiate Only Forced Organization, Not Natural Organization. We Repudiate The Forms Of Association That Are Forced Upon Us, Not Free Association. We Repudiate Forced Fraternity, Not True Fraternity. We Repudiate The Artificial Unity That Does Nothing More Than Deprive Persons Of Individual Responsibility. We Do Not Repudiate The Natural Unity Of Mankind Under Providence.

The Mission Of Law Is Not To Oppress Persons And Plunder Them Of Their Property, Even Thought The Law May Be Acting In A Philanthropic Spirit. Its Mission Is To Protect Property.

As Long As It Is Admitted That The Law May Be Diverted From Its True Purpose - That It May Violate Property Instead Of Protecting It - Then Everyone Will Want To Participate In Making The Law, Either To Protect Himself Against Plunder Or To Use It For Plunder.

We Cannot Doubt That Self-interest Is The Mainspring Of Human Nature. It Must Be Clearly Understood That This Word Is Used Here To Designate A Universal, Incontestable Fact, Resulting From The Nature Of Man, And Not An Adverse Judgment, As Would Be The Word Selfishness.
