What is good? All that heightens the feeling of power, the will to power, power itself. What is bad? All that is born of weakness. What is happiness? The feeling that power is growing, that resistance is overcome.
Friedrich Nietzsche

More quotes by 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
We fear our neighbor's hostile mood because we are afraid that this mood will lead him to penetrate our secrets.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Those who are devoid of purpose will make the void their purpose.
Friedrich Nietzsche
There did he sit shrivelled in his chimney corner, fretting on account of his weak legs, world weary, will weary, and one day he suffocated through his excessive pity.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Man is the cruelest animal. At tragedies, bullfights, and crucifixions he has so far felt best on earth and when he invented hell for himself, behold, that was his very heaven.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The lack of closeness among friends is a fault that cannot be reprimanded without becoming incurable.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The woman and the genius do not work. Up to now, woman has been mankind's supreme luxury. In all those moments when we do our best, we do not work. Work is merely a means to these moments.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Books and drafts mean something quite different for different thinkers. One collects in a book the lights he was able to steal and carry home swiftly out of the rays of some insight that suddenly dawned on him, while another thinker offers us nothing but shadows - images in black and grey of what had built up in his soul the day before.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I know of no better life purpose than to perish in attempting the great and the impossible.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Mathematics is merely the means to a general and ultimate knowledge of man.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Acknowledge your will and speak to us all, This alone is what I will to be! Hang your own penal code up above you: we want to be its enforcers!
Friedrich Nietzsche
The last Christian died on a cross.
Friedrich Nietzsche
If there is to be art, if there is to be any aesthetic doing and seeing, one physiological condition is indispensable: frenzy.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Mankind must work continually to produce individual great human beings - this and nothing else is the task... for the question is this : How can your life, the individual life, retain the highest value, the deepest significance? Only by living for the good of the rarest and most valuable specimens.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Let woman be a plaything, pure and fine, like a precious stone, illumined with the virtues of a world not yet come.
Friedrich Nietzsche
An educator never says what he himself thinks, but only that which he thinks it is good for those whom he is educating to hear.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Never trust a thought that didn't come by walking.
Friedrich Nietzsche
This is one of the stout-hearted old warriors: he is angry with civilization because he supposes that its aim is to make all goodthings--honors, treasures, beautiful women--accessible even to cowards.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Though the favourites of the Gods die young, they also live eternally in the company of Gods
Friedrich Nietzsche
The higher its type, the more rarely a thing succeeds.
Friedrich Nietzsche
