but who can feel ugly, when their heart feels joy

A man is never so proud as when striking an attitude of humility.

Do you not know how bashful friendship is? Friends - comrades - do not look at each other. Friendship would be ashamed.

Badness cannot succeed even in being bad in the same way in which goodness is good. Goodness is, so to speak, itself: badness is only spoiled goodness. Evil is a parasite, not an original thing.

Besides reasoning about matters of fact, men also make moral judgements.

For the power of Man to make himself what he pleases means... the power of some men to make other men what THEY please.

If anyone would like to acquire humility, I can, I think, tell him the first step. The first step is to realize that one is proud. And a biggish step, too. At least, nothing whatever can be done before it. If you think you are not conceited, it means that you are very conceited indeed.
