Ah, that ye would renounce all half -willing, and would decide for idleness as ye decide for action!

Ah, that ye understood my word: “Do ever what ye will⁠—but first be such as can will .

“Love ever your neighbour as yourselves⁠—but first be such as love themselves ⁠—

“⁠—Such as love with great love, such as love with great contempt!” Thus speaketh Zarathustra the godless.⁠—

But why talk I, when no one hath mine ears! It is still an hour too early for me here.

Mine own forerunner am I among this people, mine own cockcrow in dark lanes.
