Bertrand Russell Quotes(バートランド・ラッセルの名言・警句)

 


They (= Boys and girls ) are informed of the misdeeds of foreign States, but not of the misdeeds of their own state. They are led to suppose that all the wars in which their own State has engaged are wars of defence, while the wars of foreign States are wars of aggression. They are taught to believe that when, contrary to expectation, their own country does conquer some foreign country, it does so in order to spread civilization, or the light of the gospel, or a lofty moral tone, or prohibition, or something else which is equally noble.
