More quotes by 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
If you know the why, you can live any how.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One is honest about oneself either with a sense of shame or with vanity.
Friedrich Nietzsche
He who humbles himself wants to be exalted.
Friedrich Nietzsche
There are slavish souls who carry their appreciation for favors done them so far that they strangle themselves with the rope of gratitude.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Everything about woman is a riddle, and everything about woman has a single solution: that is, pregnancy
Friedrich Nietzsche
A nation is a detour of nature to arrive at five or six great men- yes, and then to get around them.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I teach you the Overman. Man is something that shall be overcome. What have you done to overcome him? ... The time has come for man to set himself a goal. The time has come to plant the seed to his highest hope.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A person unlearns arrogance when he knows he is always among worthy human beings being alone fosters presumption. Young people are arrogant because they always associate with their own peers, those who are all really nothing but who would like to be very important.
Friedrich Nietzsche
We are more pained when one of our friends is guilty of something shameful than when we do it ourselves.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Whatever does not kill me makes me stronger.
Friedrich Nietzsche
We set no special value on the possession of a virtue until we percieve that it is entirely lacking in our adversary.
Friedrich Nietzsche
That grand drama in a hundred acts, which is reserved for the next two centuries of Europe-the most terrible, most questionable and perhaps also the most hopeful of all dramas.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Natural death is independent of all reason and is really an irrational death, in which the pitiable substance of the shell determines how long the kernel is to exist or not in which, accordingly, the stunted, diseased and dull witted jailer is lord, and indicates the moment at which his distinguished prisoner shall die.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One should not go into churches if one wants to breathe pure air.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The truth is ugly: we have art so as not to perish from the truth.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One hears - one does not seek one takes - one does not ask who gives.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The good displeases us when we are not up to it.
Friedrich Nietzsche
You gave him an opportunity of showing greatness of character and he did not seize it. He will never forgive you for that.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I welcome all the signs indicating that a more manly and warlike age is commencing, which will, above all, bring heroism again into honour!
Friedrich Nietzsche
