The Will to Power · Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
862.
A teaching is needed which is strong enough to work in a _disciplinary_ manner; it should operate in such a way as to strengthen the strong and to paralyse and smash up the world-weary. The annihilation of declining races. The decay of Europe. The annihilation of slave-tainted valuations. The dominion of the world as a means to the rearing of a higher type. The annihilation of the humbug which is called morality (Christianity as a hysterical kind of honesty in this regard: Augustine, Bunyan.) The annihilation of universal suffrage--that is to say, that system by means of which the lowest natures prescribe themselves as a law for higher natures. The annihilation of mediocrity and its prevalence. (The one-sided, the individuals--peoples; constitutional plenitude should be aimed at by means of the coupling of opposites; to this end race-combinations should be tried.) The new kind of courage--no _a priori_ truths (those who were accustomed to believe in something sought such truths!), but _free_ submission to a ruling thought, which has its time; for instance, time conceived as the quality of space, etc. 2. The Strong and the Weak.
