Line 57:
* Honesty, decency, faithfulness, and comradeship, ... must be shown when dealing with those of like blood but to no one else. What happens to a Russian, to a Czech, does not interest me in the slightest. . . . Whether nations live in prosperity or starve to death like cattle interests me only insofar as we need them as slaves for our culture. . . . Whether 10,000 Russian females collapse from exhaustion while digging an antitank ditch interests me only insofar as the antitank ditch for Germany is finished.

*National sovereignty derives its moral authority from individual sovereignty. That is why, for instance, the allies were morally justified in their invasions of Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan. The mere claim to sovereignty does not hold unless backed by respect for the sovereignty of others, whether other free nations or the residents within a nation's own borders. That's what the nationalists too often miss. They tend to think that a nation exists for its own sake, or worse, that individuals exist for the nation's sake.

*Nations generally "go to the top" only once.
