Care for the race, even if the individual must suffer — this must be the keynote of our future. This was the guiding principle which underlay all the discussions of the Second International Congress of Eugenics in 1921. Not quantity but quality must be the aim in the development of each nation, to make men fit to maintain their places in the struggle for existence. We must be concerned above all with racial values; every race must seek out and develop and improve its own racial characteristics. Racial consciousness is not pride of race, but proper respect for the Purity of race is today found in but one nation — the Scandinavian.


as stated in "The World's Work: A History of Our Time" on page 253, by Walter Hines Page and Arthur Wilson Page, published in 1924. Also stated in "Man Rises to Parnassus" (1928), pages 220-221
