 OF A THOUSAND AND ONE GOALS 79

Many lands were seen by Zarathustra, and many peoples : no greater power was found on earth by Zarathustra than the works of the loving : good and evil are their names.

Verily, a monster is this power of praising and blaming. Say, brethren, who will overthrow it ? Who will cast the fetters over its thousand necks?

A thousand goals have existed hitherto, for a thou- sand peoples existed. But the fetter of the thousand necks is lacking, the one goal is lacking. Humanity hath no goal yet.

But tell me, I pray, my brethren : if the goal be lacking to humanity, is not humanity itself lack- ing?"

Thus spake Zarathustra.
