"The Four Errors - Man has been educated by his errors: first, he saw himself only incompletely; secondly he endowed himself with fictitious attributes; thirdly, he placed himself in a false rank order in relation to animals and nature; fourthly, he invented ever new tables of goods and for a time took them to be eternal and unconditioned - so that now this, now that human drive and condition occupied first place and was ennobled as a result of this valuation.  If one discounts the effect of these four errors, one has also discounted humanity, humaneness, and 'human dignity'."
