The Motto of Social Ethic 

It is only healthy
When the whole society is formed
In the mirror of the Human soul. 

Outwardly: Threefold structure of Society                             

And when, in each community 
The virtue of the individual soul
Is living.                                              

Inwardly:  Loving recognition of our fellow human beings.
