As the antagonism between those who possess, and those who do not, is becoming more acute day after day, we can already foresee a moment when it will bring about ("entraรฎnera", Fr.) severe (big, high, intense, - "grands", Fr.) disasters, if we do turn (direct, aim, - "dirige", Fr.) life in time the social life in new directions (or ways, - "dans des voies nouvelles", Fr.)
African SpirMoral improvement (or perfecting) require an evolution leading to a higher consciousness, which is the true torch of life; it is what we have failed too much to appreciate, and that which would be fatal to fail to appreciate any longer ("pluslongtemps", Fr.); For if we do not take it upon ourselves to remedy in time to the moral colapse (or bankruptcy) that already threaten, the whole civilisation will risks to disappear.
African SpirAs long as men will not be freed from their errors and delusions, humanity will not be able to go towards ("marcher vers", Fr.) the accomplishment of its true destinies.
African SpirTo sacrifice the moral to the physical, as is done in these days, is to sacrifice reality for a shadow.
African SpirThe supreme blossoming of character lies (or reside) in renounciation (or renuncement) and abnegation of self ("abnรฉgation de soi", Fr.)
African SpirThe antagonism between nationalities will lose all its acuteness on the day when neither the iniquitous tendency to oppression and domination, nor the perpetual danger of the threatening preparations for war will exist. ("L'antagonisme entre les nationalitรฉs perdra toute son acuitรฉ le jour oรน n'existera plus la tendance inique ร l'oppression et ร la domination, ni le perpรฉtuel danger des menaรงants prรฉparatifs de guerre. ยป, Fr. ")
