The great poet Goethe says "Against the superiority of another,
there is no remedy but love." We need to cultivate a noble &
generous attitude towards superiority of all kinds & this can
only be of benefit to ourselves. For to ad recognize unusual
worth & merit in another is stamp ourselves as men & women
of generous hearts & broad b minds. And to persist in
this adopting this attitude is means the ultimate eradication
of harmful senseless prejudice that has done more to
retard the wheels of progress in every sphere of thought than
anything any other factor I know of. The English for instance
though being the reputation of sincerity of character &
sig singleness of heart have never been able to understand
the shining sterling qualities of either the French and the Germans nations
because not because they find it impossible but because
they have never taken the trouble to put themselves in
right relations with these nations & because of a quiet
[ ]ance of spirit that impels them to attach a ne plus
ultra superiority to themselves in contrast to all others.
To quote our Emerson "They hate the French as frivolous, they
hate the Irish as aimless & the Germans as professors."
