OF WAR AND WARRIORS 6l
Ye are permitted to have enemies only who are to be hated ; not enemies who are to be despised. Ye are to be proud of your enemy : then the success of your enemy is your success also.
Rebellion, that is superiority in the slave. Let your superiority be obedience, your commanding even be an obeying!
To a good warrior 'thou shalt' soundeth more agreeably than ' I will.' And all that will be dear unto you, ye shall yet be commanded.
Let your love unto life be love unto your highest hope : and your highest hope the highest thought of your life !
Your highest thought, however, ye shall be ordained by myself and it is : man is a something that shall be surpassed.
Thus live your life of obedience and war ! What is long life worth ! What warrior wisheth to be spared !
I do not spare you, I love you from the heart of my heart, my brethren in war ! "
Thus spake Zarathustra.
