Freiheit, Gleichheit, Brüderlichkeit
Bellamy considered the slogan of the French Revolution, "Liberté, égalité, fraternité" ("liberty, equality, fraternity"), but held that "fraternity was too remote of realization, and … [that] equality was a dubious word." Concluding "Liberty and justice were surely basic, were undebatable, and were all that any one Nation could handle. If they were exercised for all. They involved the spirit of equality and fraternity."
