      I don't think Nietzsche spoke of "higher morality".

      Higher Men, yes.

      He believed then in the deed and the doer, rather than in 'Thou Shalts'
      and 'Thou Shalt Nots'.

      He spoke of course, of Master Morality and describes this in some detail
      in his On the Genealogy of Morality.

      But this 'Master Morality' would appear to be a kind 'amoralism' to
      those Christians, socialists, liberals and other cattle.
