E.H. Gombrich Quotes

I Know A Wise Buddhist Monk Who, In A Speech To His Fellow Countrymen, Once Said He'd Love To Know Why Someone Who Boasts That He Is The Cleverest, The Strongest, The Bravest Or The Most Gifted Man On Earth Is Thought Ridiculous And Embarrassing, Whereas If, Instead Of 'I', He Says, 'we Are The Most Intelligent, The Strongest, The Bravest And The Most Gifted People On Earth', His Fellow Countrymen Applaud Enthusiastically And Call Him A Patriot. For There Is Nothing Patriotic About It. One Can Be Attached To One's Own Country Without Needing To Insist That The Rest Of The World's Inhabitants Are Worthless. But As More And More People Were Taken In By This Sort Of Nonsense, The Menace To Peace Grew Greater.
