Every miserable fool who has nothing at all of which he can be proud, adopts as a last resource pride in the nation to which he belongs; he is ready and happy to defend all its faults and follies tooth and nail, thus reimbursing himself for his own inferiority.

Arthur SchopenhauerWill power is to the mind like a strong blind man who carries on his shoulders a lame man who can see.
