- Reader of the sutra: Ma Prem Maneesha.
- The sutra
- Of old and new law-tables part 3
- My pity for all that is past is that I see: it has been handed over -- handed over to the favour, the spirit, the madness of every generation that comes and transforms everything that has been into its own bridge!...
- This, however, is the other danger... he who is of the mob remembers back to his grandfather -- with his grandfather, however, time stops.
- Thus all that is past is handed over: for the mob could one day become master, and all time be drowned in shallow waters.
- Therefore, o my brothers, is a new nobility needed: to oppose all mob-rule and all despotism and to write anew upon new law-tables the word: 'noble'.
- For many noblemen are needed, and noblemen of many kinds, for nobility to exist! Or, as I once said in a parable: 'Precisely this is godliness, that there are gods but no God!'
- O my brothers, I direct and consecrate you to a new nobility: you shall become begetters and cultivators and sowers of the future -- truly, not to a nobility that you could buy like shopkeepers with shopkeepers' gold: for all that has a price is of little value.
- Let where you are going, not where you come from, henceforth be your honour! Your will and your foot that desires to step out beyond you -- let them be your new honour!
- Truly, not that you have served a prince -- of what account are princes now! -- or have become a bulwark to that which stands, that it may stand more firmly!
- Not that your family have grown courtly at courts and you have learned to stand for long hours in shallow pools, motley-colored like a flamingo:
- For being able to stand is a merit with courtiers; and all courtiers believe that part of the bliss after death is -- being allowed to sit!
- O my brothers, your nobility shall not gaze backward, but outward! You shall be fugitives from all fatherlands and fore-fatherlands!
- You shall love your children's land: let this love be your new nobility -- the undiscovered land in the furthest sea! I bid your sails seek it and seek it!
- You shall make amends to your children for being the children of your fathers: thus you shall redeem all that is past! This new law-table do I put over you!
- ... Thus spake Zarathustra.
