Acclaim

by Friedrich Nietzsche, translated by Peter Saint-Andre

If fame is what you hope to find,
Then keep this lesson in your mind:
It's self-respect you'll leave behind!

Zuspruch

Auf Ruhm has du den Sinn gericht?
Dann acht' der Lehre:
Beizeiten leiste frei Verzicht
Auf Ehre!

(Translation of "Zuspruch", The Joyful Learning, Prelude, §43)
