Quote

People are people the world over. Some are good, some bad, some greedy and some generous. Nations are like people and act the same way.

Nations have come under the control of haters and fools.

Nations have always good reasons for being what they are, and the best of all is that they cannot be otherwise.

Nations, like individuals in a state of nature, are equal and independent, possessing certain rights and owing certain duties to each other.

One always likes to think that other countries are not like one's own.

Nations, like individuals, are punished for their transgressions.

All nations are more tolerant of their own mistakes and weaknesses than of the mistakes and weaknesses of others.

Each nation feels superior to other nations. That breeds patriotism - and wars.

Ego is the immediate dictate of human consciousness.

The ego is nothing other than the focus of conscious attention.
