- 1922, Eŭgeno Lanti, For la neŭtralismon!:
- Tial ke ni estas sennaciuloj, ni propagandas neŭtralan lingvon. Ĉar ni opinias, ke la esperanta movado estas nun la plej taŭga forto por rapide triumfigi la ideon pri Universala Lingvo, ni propagandas esperanton. Ĝi estas por ni bezona ilo por trafi nian idealon. Esperanto ne estas la celo de nia agado, sed nur rimedo por atingi nian celon.
- Because we are anationals, we promote a neutral language. Because we believe the Esperanto movement is now the most suitable power to quickly bring triumph to the idea of a universal language, we promote Esperanto. It is only a necessary tool for us to reach our ideal. Esperanto isn't the goal of our action but only a means of reaching this goal.
