Essential Things In Heaven And Earth

http://artofmanliness.com/2009/03/16/the-hard-way/

Linked entirely for the opening quote:
“The essential thing “in heaven and earth” is…that there should be a long obedience in the same direction; there thereby results, and has always resulted in the long run, something which has made life worth living.”  - Friedrich Nietzche, Beyond Good and Evil

Nietzsche not just quoting Hamlet but extending it to make his point?  Love it.  I don’t even know what the article is about, I stopped at the Shakespeare reference. :)
