More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
We forget our guilt when we have confessed it to another, but the other does not usually forget it.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A man should not play the coward to his deeds. He should not repudiate them once he has performed them. Pangs of conscience are indecent.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Praise is more obtrusive than a reproach.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Thoughts are the shadows of our feelings - always darker, emptier and simpler.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I live in my own place - have never copied anyone even half, and at any master who lacks the grace - to laugh at himself - I laugh.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Only in war are you holy, and when you are robbers and cruel.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Yet for all that, there is nothing in me of a founder of a religion--religions are affairs of the rabble I find it necessary to wash my hands after I have come into contact with religious people.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Beyond Good and Evil, Aphorism 153
Friedrich Nietzsche
He who possesseth little is so much the less possessed. Blessed be moderate poverty!
Friedrich Nietzsche
The great wars of the present age are the effects of the study of history.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The poison by which the weaker nature is destroyed is strengthening to the strong individual and he does not call it poison.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Every god-man created his own god: and there is no worse enmity on earth than that between gods.
Friedrich Nietzsche
We must learn to love, learn to be kind, and this from the earliest youth if education or chance give us no opportunity to practice these feelings, our soul becomes dry and unsuited even to understanding the tender inventions of loving people.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is obvious that all sense has gone out of modern marriage which is, however, no objection to marriage but to modernity.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Some are made modest by great praise, others insolent.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Life is hard to bear: but do not affect to be so delicate! We are all of us fine sumpter asses and assesses.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Learn to laugh at yourselves as one must laugh!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Genuine historical knowledge requires nobility of character, a profound understanding of human existence - not detachment and objectivity.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The higher its type, the more rarely a thing succeeds.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The really royal calling of the philosopher (as expressed by Alcuin the Anglo-Saxon): To correct what is wrong, and strengthen the right, and raise what is holy.
Friedrich Nietzsche
