More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
All great men are play actors of their own ideal.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The higher its type, the more rarely a thing succeeds.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One must never have spared oneself, one must have acquired hardness as a habit to be cheerful and in good spirits in the midst of nothing but hard truths.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I speak and the child plays: who can be more serious than we are?
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is perhaps just dawning on five or six minds that physics, too, is only an interpretation and exegesis of the world (to suit us, if I may say so!) and not a world-explanation.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Subordination to morality can be slavish or vain or self- interested or resigned or gloomily enthusiastic or thoughtless or an act of despair, just as subordination to a prince can be: in itself it is nothing moral.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is good to express a thing twice right at the outset and so to give it a right foot and also a left one. Truth can surely stand on one leg, but with two it will be able to walk and get around.
Friedrich Nietzsche
When one has finished building one's house, one suddenly realizes that in the process one has learned something that one really needed to know in the worst way - before one began.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Rash actions are seldom committed in isolation. With the first rash action we always do too much. So we usually go on to commit asecond one--and then we do too little.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Every day I count wasted in which there has been no dancing.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What is the vanity of the vainest man compared with the vanity which the most modest possesses when, in the midst of nature and the world, he feels himself to be man!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Sometimes we remain true to a cause simply because its opponents are unfailingly tasteless.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I believe only in French culture and consider everything in Europe that calls itself 'culture' a misunderstanding, not to speak of German culture.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The most vulnerable and yet most unconquerable of things is human vanity nay, through being wounded its strength increases and can grow to giant proportions.
Friedrich Nietzsche
No price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The great epochs of our life come when we gain the courage to rechristen our evil as what is best in us.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Love is a state in which a man sees things most decidedly as they are not.
Friedrich Nietzsche
There is more wisdom in your body than in your deepest philosophy.
Friedrich Nietzsche
How difficult it is to live when one feels that the judgment of many millenniums is around one and against one.
Friedrich Nietzsche
There is no better soporific and sedative than skepticism.
Friedrich Nietzsche
