"Blessed are the strong, for they shall possess the earth – Cursed are the weak, for they shall inherit the yoke. “Blessed are the powerful for they shall be reverenced among men – Cursed are the feeble for they shall be blotted out. “Blessed are the bold for they shall be masters of the world – Cursed are the humble, for they shall be trodden under hoofs. “Blessed are the victorious, for victory is the basis of right – Cursed are the vanquished for they shall be vassals forever. “Blessed are the battle-blooded, beauty shall smile upon them – Cursed are the poor in spirit, they shall be spat upon. “Blessed are the audacious, for they have imbibed true wisdom – Cursed are the obedient, for they shall breed creeplings. “Blessed are the iron-handed, the unfit shall flee before them – Cursed are the haters of battle, subjugation is their portion. “Blessed are the death-defiant, their days shall be long in the land – Cursed are the feeble-brained, for they shall perish amidst plenty. “Blessed are the destroyers of false hope, they are the true Messiahs – Cursed are the God-adorers, they shall be shorn sheep. “Blessed are the valiant for they shall obtain great treasure – Cursed are the believers in good and evil for they are frightened by shadows. “Blessed are they who believe in nothing, never shall it terrorize their minds – Cursed are the “lambs of God,” for they shall be bled whiter than snow. “Blessed is the man who hath powerful enemies, they shall make him a hero – Cursed is he who “doeth good” unto others, he shall be despised. “Blessed is the man whose foot is swift to serve a friend, he is a friend indeed – Cursed are the organizers of charities, they are propagators of plagues. “Blessed are the wise and brave for in the struggle they shall win – Cursed are the unfit, for they shall be righteously exterminated. “Blessed are the sires of noble maidens, they are the salt of the earth – Cursed the mothers of strumous tenderlings, for they shall be ashamed. “Blessed are the mighty-minded, for they shall ride the whirl-winds – Cursed are they who teach lies for truth, and truth for lies, for they are – abomination. “Blessed are the unmerciful, their posterity shall own the world – Cursed are the famous wiselings, their seed shall perish off the earth. Thrice cursed are the vile, for they shall serve and suffer.” — Ragnar Redbeard, Might is Right.
