  • And keep as few things as possible, so that you don't have to fear for them. Give them up without a struggle-because otherwise the humiliation will poison your heart.

But by owning things and trembling about their fate aren't you forfeiting the rare opportunity of observing and understanding?

  • The term "national idea" is an unclear one. One might think of it as a widely shared understanding among a people as to the desired way of life in their country, an idea that holds sway over the population.
