If such a one says ` I am an Athravan ' he lies, call him not Athravan, noble Zarathustra, said Ahura Mazda, but thou shouldst call him priest, noble Zarathustra, who sits awake the whole night through and yearns for holy wisdom that enables man to stand on death's bridge fearless and with happy heart, the wisdom whereby he attains the holy and glorious world of paradise."
Be not righteous overmuch; neither make thyself over wise; why shouldst thou destroy thyself?
Here shouldst thou even pour out thy soul in love !
If thou, 0 Lord, shouldst mark iniquities, Lord, who could stand?
Methinks thou shouldst not part with one of these promises, no, not for a world.
