TOMAS GARRIGUE MASARYK
Czechoslovakian statesman and politician (1850 - 1937)
|
We shall always be a small minority in the world, but, when a
small nation accomplishes something with its limited means, what
it achieves has an immense and exceptional value, like the
widow's mite. . . . It is a deliberate and discerning love of a
nation that appeals to me, not the indiscriminate love that
assumes everything to be right because it bears a national
label. . . . Love of one's own nation should not entail non-love
of other nations. . . . Institutions by themselves are not
enough.
