[13] _Twilight of the Idols_, London, 1915, p. 15. For Nietzsche’s answer to Nietzsche, cf. _ibid._, p. 57: “To accustom the eye to calmness, to patience, and to allow things to come up to it; to defer judgment, and to acquire the habit of approaching and grasping an individual case from all sides,--this is the first preparatory schooling of intellectuality,” this is one of “the three objects for which we need educators.... One must not respond immediately to a stimulus; one must acquire a command of the obstructing and isolating instincts. To learn to see, as I understand this matter, amounts almost to that which in popular language is called ‘strength of will’: its essential feature is precisely ... to be able to postpone one’s decision.... All lack of intellectuality, all vulgarity, arises out of the inability to resist a stimulus.” [14] “Why art thou sad? Assuredly thou hast performed some sacred duty?”--Bazarov in Turgenev’s _Fathers and Children_, 1903, p. 185. [15] “Morality is the effort to throw off sleep.... I have never yet met a man who was wide awake. How could I have looked him in the face?”--Thoreau, _Walden_, New York, 1899, p. 92. [16] What happens when I “see the better and approve it, but follow the worse,” is that an end later approved as “better”--_i.e._, better for me--is at the time obscured by the persistent or recurrent suggestion of an end temporarily more satisfying, but eventually disappointing. Most self-reproach is the use of knowledge won _post factum_ to criticise a self that had to adventure into action unarmed with this hindsight wisdom. [17] _Gorgias_, p. 521. [18] 399 B.C.

[21] “If we look for a system of philosophy in Plato, we shall probably not find it; but if we look for none we may find most of the philosophies ever written.”--Professor Woodbridge.
