O my brothers, I dedicate and direct you to a new nobility: you shall become procreators and cultivators and sowers of the future verily, not to a nobility that you might buy like shopkeepers and with shopkeepers' gold: for whatever has its price has little value. Not whence you came shall henceforth constitute your honor, but whither you are going! Your will and your foot which has a will to go over and beyond yourselves that shall constitute your new honor.
