The Snake Which Cannot Cast Its Skin

There Is Sense In Hoping For Recognition In A Distant Future Only When We Take It For Granted That Mankind Will Remain Essentially Unchanged, And That Whatever Is Great Is Not For One Age Only But Will Be Looked Upon As Great For All Time.

From People Who Merely Pray We Must Become People Who Bless.

The Most Spiritual Men, As The Strongest, Find Their Happiness Where Others Would Find Their Destruction: In The Labyrinth, In Hardness Against Themselves And Others, In Experiments. Their Joy Is Self-conquest: Asceticism Becomes In Them Nature, Need, And Instinct. Difficult Tasks Are A Privilege To Them; To Play With Burdens That Crush Others, A Recreation. Knowledge-a Form Of Asceticism. They Are The Most Venerable Kind Of Man: That Does Not Preclude Their Being The Most Cheerful And The Kindliest.

Man Is The Only Animal That Must Be Encouraged To Live.

There They Laugh: They Do Not Understand Me; I Am Not The Mouth For These Ears.
