He who would learn to fly one day must first learn to stand and walk and run and climb and dance;
one cannot fly into flying.

Once having passions you called them evil. Now however you have nothing but your virtues: they grew out of your passions.
You laid your highest goal upon these passions: then they became your virtues and delights.
And though you were from the stock of the choleric, or of the voluptuous, or of the religiously frantic, or of the vindictive:
At last all your passions grew virtues and all your devils angels.

My brother, if you have good luck, you have one virtue and no more: thus you walk more easily over the bridge.
It is a distinction to have many virtues, but a hard lot: and many having gone to the desert killed themselves, because they were tired of being the battle and battlefield of virtues.

Behold how each of your virtues is covetous for the highest: it longs for your whole spirit to be its herald, it longs for your whole power in wrath, love and hatred.
Jealous is each virtue of the other, and a terrible thing is jealousy. Even virtues may perish from jealousy.
He who is encompassed by the flame of jealousy, at last, like the scorpion, turns the poisonous sting toward himself.
Alas, my brother, did you never see a virtue backbite and stab itself?
Man is a something that must be surpassed: and therefore you shall love your virtues - for you will perish from them.
