“The cheapest sort of pride is national pride; for if a man is proud of his own nation, it argues that he has no qualities of his own of which he can be proud; otherwise he would not have recourse to those which he shares with so many millions of his fellowmen.”

When does the quote say you cant be proud of multiple things? Just that national pride is the cheapest form of pride and pointing out that people should have more than just national pride that drives them.
