The Ego And His Own - Opening

All Things Are Nothing To Me

WHAT is not supposed to be my concern! First and foremost,
the Good Cause, then God's cause, the cause of mankind of truth,
of freedom, of humanity, of justice; further, the cause of
my people, my prince, my fatherland; finally, even the cause of
Mind, and a thousand other causes. Only my cause is
never to be my concern. "Shame on egoist who thinks only of himself!"

TO MY SWEETHEART
