More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
Mediocrity is the most effective mask a superior spirit can wear, because to the great majority, which is to say, to the mediocre,it will not suggest a disguise:--and yet it is precisely for their sake that he puts it on--so as not to arouse them, and, indeed, not infrequently to avoid this out of pity and benevolence.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Aphorisms should be peaks - and those who are addressed, tall and lofty. The air thin and pure, danger near, and the spirit full of gay sarcasm: these go well together.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Master-morality and Slave-morality.
Friedrich Nietzsche
You I advise not to work, but to fight. You I advise not to peace, but to victory. Let your work be a fight, let your peace be a victory!
Friedrich Nietzsche
What makes one heroic? - Going out to meet at the same time one's highest suffering and one's highest hope.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Real dancers are the ones who can hear the music in their soul.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche
But this people has deliberately made itself stupid, for nearly a millennium: nowhere have the two great European narcotics, alcohol and Christianity, been abused more dissolutely.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche
A matter that becomes clear ceases to concern us.--What was that god thinking who counseled, Know thyself! Did he perhaps mean,Cease to concern yourself! Become objective!--And Socrates?--And scientific men?
Friedrich Nietzsche
The good displeases us when we are not up to it.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Whatever we have words for, that we have already got beyond.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I fear that, with our current veneration for the natural and the real, we have arrived at the opposite pole to all idealism, and have landed in the region of the waxworks.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is inhuman to bless where one is cursed.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A good seat on a horse steals away your opponent's courage and your onlooker's heart-what reason is there to attack? Sit like one who has conquered?
Friedrich Nietzsche
The ascetic makes a necessity of virtue.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Democracy represents the disbelief in all great men and in all elite societies: everybody is everybody's equal.
Friedrich Nietzsche
To think historically is almost the same thing now as if in all ages history had been made according to theory.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Humility has the toughest hide.
Friedrich Nietzsche
