More From Friedrich Nietzsche

When prayer, rituals and ascetic life are just a means of self-indulgence, they are harmful rather than beneficial. this is quite obvious to people nowadays, when it is widely recognised that fixations are not the same as valuable and laudable observances. one should not pray if that prayer is vanity; rituals are wrong when they provide lower satisfactions, like emotional stimulus instead of enlightenment; he or she should not be an ascetic who is only enjoying it.
Prayer Mean Emotional
And what does reward virtue? you think the communist commissar rewards virtue? you think a hitler rewards virtue? you think, excuse me, if you'll pardon me, american presidents reward virtue? do they choose their appointees on the basis of the virtue of the people appointed or on the basis of their political clout?

Lf the attribute of popular government in peace is virtue, the attribute of popular government in revolution is at one and the same time virtue and terror, virtue without which terror is fatal, terror without which virtue is impotent. the terror is nothing but justice, prompt, severe, inflexible; it is thus an emanation of virtue.
Government Justice Revolution
Is there no virtue among us? if there be not, we are in a wretched situation. no theoretical checks-no form of government can render us secure. to suppose that any form of government will secure liberty or happiness without any virtue in the people, is a chimerical idea, if there be sufficient virtue and intelligence in the community, it will be exercised in the selection of these men. so that we do not depend on their virtue, or put confidence in our rulers, but in the people who are to choose them.

But tell me: how did gold get to be the highest value? because it is uncommon and useless and gleaming and gentle in its brilliance; it always gives itself. only as an image of the highest virtue did gold get to be the highest value. the giver's glance gleams like gold. a golden brilliance concludes peace between the moon and the sun. uncommon is the highest virtue and useless, it is gleaming and gentle in its brilliance: a gift-giving virtue is the highest virtue.

Virtue is the highest reward. virtue truly goes before all things. liberty, safety, life, property, parents, country, and children are protected and preserved. virtue has all things in herself; he who has virtue has all things that are good attending him. [lat., virtus praemium est optimum. virtus omnibus rebus anteit profecto. libertas, salus, vita, res, parentes, patria et prognati tutantur, servantur; virtus omnia in se habet; omnia assunt bona, quem penes est vertus.]
