Chess Trivia

"What master made the following statement in the heat of a great war...

'...The cagey English merchant has grasped the meaning of possessions and their power in the world; but he has missed the true inwardness of things, and the rapid evolution of modern times has left him far behind. He is an egoist towards his fellow countrymen. He will not give the masses a share in higher things, as he wants to keep them under his sway as slaves. The Universities of Cambridge and Oxford are reserved for the sons of the rich. He views with suspicion our people, teeming with ideas, eager in pursuit of science, and ready to make any sacrifice. Who among us is not a philosopher? I know not a single German who does not carry in his bosom something of the spirit of Faust. The morale of the Germans is not mere theory. Mother, wife, sweetheart, have bidden their men go forth to battle. It is the genius of Humanity that speaks for this nation'."
