The Convention promulgated this grand axiom: "The liberty of each citizen ends where the liberty of another citizen commences,"-which comprises in two lines all human social law. Out of this chaos of shadow, this tumultuous flight of clouds, spread immense rays of light parallel to the eternal laws,-rays that have remained on the horizon, visible forever in the heaven of the peoples, and which are, one, Justice another, Tolerance another, Goodness another, Right another, Truth another, Love. In this caldron, where terror bubbled, progress fermented. At the same time that it threw off revolution, this Assembly produced civilization.
