More From Friedrich Nietzsche

The remarkable thing is that we really love our neighbor as ourselves: we do unto others as we do unto ourselves. we hate others when we hate ourselves. we are tolerant toward others when we tolerate ourselves. we forgive others when we forgive ourselves. we are prone to sacrifice others when we are ready to sacrifice ourselves.
