"Beyond Good and Evil" by Nietzsche,1886


..
Ideas which preserve life and add to a man's power are more important than
ideas sanctioned by logicians and seekers after the absolute.
.
The metaphysical interest in the freedom of the will
should give way to an interest in the strength of the will.
.
Men must turn conventional values upside down in order to live creatively ;
the established values of society were invented by the weak to enable them to triumph over strong.
.
Scientific minds are weak when they fail to pass judgment ;
whoever denies the will,denies the power of life.
.
Progress in life is possible only if there are men of action who have the courage to trust will and instinct ; new values arise which go beyond conventional good and evil when the will to power asserts itself.

"Thus Spake Zarathustra" by Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche,


..
Life is the will to power,
and he would truly live must overcome the beliefs and conventions of common men ;
he must become an overmen.
.
Those who teach the Christian virtues of pity and meekness seek to corrupt man,
to destroy his will to power,
and to make him submit to those who prosper from conventional way.
.
Men who do not have the courage to live seek to escape by sleeping,
by prizing the soul more than the body,
and by seeking peace instead of war.
.
The overman is virtuous when he frees himself from the belief in God and from the hope of an afterlife ;
he is nauseated by the rabble,and his joy comes from surpassing those who live by false hopes and beliefs.
.
Worship of any sort is a return to childhood ;
if men must worship,let them worship donkeys if that suits them.
