Quotes About Fraternity

Nothing about 'Brotherhood' is ever wrapped up in a nice package.

Sing a hymn to rectitude, Ye forward-thinking multitude. Advance in humble gratitude For strictest rules of attitude. To elevate the Common Good In Brotherhood and Sisterhood We celebrate authority.

I cannot possibly understand how fraternity can be legally enforced without liberty being legally destroyed...
~ Frederic Bastiat
But what do the socialists do? They cleverly disguise this legal plunder from others -- and even from themselves -- under the seductive names of fraternity, unity, organization, and association. Because we ask so little from the law -- only justice -- the socialists thereby assume that we reject fraternity, unity, organization, and association.
~ Frederic Bastiat
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.

quando se tenta fazer a lei religiosa, fraternal, igualitária, filantrópica, industrial, literária, artística, logo se atinge o infinito, o incerto, o desconhecido, a utopia imposta ou, o que é pior, uma infinidade de utopias em luta para apossar-se da lei e se impor. Pois a fraternidade e a filantropia, ao contrário da justiça, não têm limites fixos. Onde pararão? Onde parará a lei?

~ François Noël Babeuf
I also joined a fraternity. That's not a typo, I really did. One of the things about UNC that I didn't realize when I applied was that there were seven guys to every girl. And let's face it, those odds were not going to work much in my favor. The University of North Carolina at Greensboro, the all-women's campus, had five thousand women, and the only way I had a shot at meeting them was by joining a fraternity. I figured if I could get them in a confined space I might have a chance.
