"Will—that is the name of the liberator and the joy bringer." ~ Friedrich Nietzsche from Thus Spoke Zarathustra
Nietzsche speaks again and again about the force of our will to "overcome" our human frailties.
How's your will-power?
Can you command yourself? And then obey?
As Uncle Fred reminds us: "He who cannot command himself should obey. And many can command themselves, but much is still lacking before they can obey themselves."
"One can have no smaller or greater mastery than mastery of oneself." ~ Leonardo da Vinci
"The lion who breaks the enemy's ranks is a minor hero compared to the lion who overcomes himself." ~ Rumi
