All the systems of morals which address themselves with a view to their happiness, as it is called what else are they but suggestions for behaviour adapted to the degree of from themselves in which the individuals live; recipes for their passions, their good and bad propensities, insofar as such have the Will to Power and would like to play the master; small and great expediencies and elaborations, permeated with the musty odour of old family medicines and old wife wisdom; all of them grotesque and absurd in their form because they address themselves to all, because they generalize where generalization is not authorized; all of them speaking unconditionally, and taking themselves unconditionally; all of them flavoured not merely with one grain of salt, but rather endurable only, and sometimes even seductive, when they are over spiced and begin to smell dangerously, especially of the other world.
