People call the absolute friend of truth good-, but they also call him good who is pious and a transfigurer of things;
People call him good who can obey his own voice, but they also call the devout man good;
People call the noble and the haughty man good, but also him who does not despise and who does not assume condescending airs.
People call him good who is kindhearted and who steps out of the way of broils, but he who thirsts for fight and triumph is also called good;
People call him good who always wishes to be first, but they also call him good who does not wish to be ahead of anybody in anything.

There is a wonderful amount of moral power, but there is no longer any goal towards which all this power can be directed.
