Moving from arrogance to masochism, Europeans have endeavoured to chase away their old feelings of ethnocentrism , all the while flattering similar sentiments in other races and cultures.

Society is an open-ended partnership between generations. The dead and the unborn are as much members of society as the living.

The web of obligation shrinks to the present tense. –Edmund Burke
