More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
Enduring habits I hate.... Yes, at the very bottom of my soul I feel grateful to all my misery and bouts of sickness and everything about me that is imperfect, because this sort of thing leaves me with a hundred backdoors through which I can escape from enduring habits.
Friedrich Nietzsche
We praise or blame as one or the other affords more opportunity for exhibiting our power of judgement.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A person must have a good memory to keep the promises he has made. A person must have a strong imagination to be able to have pity. So closely is morality tied to the quality of the intellect.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Everything good is instinct--and, as a result, easy, necessary, free.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Socrates and Plato are right: whatever man does he always does well, that is, he does that which seems to him good (useful) according to the degree of his intellect, the particular standard of his reasonableness.
Friedrich Nietzsche
In large states public education will always be mediocre, for the same reason that in large kitchens the cooking is usually bad.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Everything becomes and recurs eternally - escape is impossible!
Friedrich Nietzsche
The English are a nation of consummate cant.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The idealist is incorrigible: if he is thrown out of his heaven he makes an ideal of his hell.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The criminal type is the type of the strong human being under unfavorable circumstances: a strong human being made sick.
Friedrich Nietzsche
If you believed more in life you would fling yourself less to the moment.
Friedrich Nietzsche
There are expressions and bulls-eyes of the spirit, there are epigrams, a little handful of words, in which a whole culture, a whole society is suddenly crystallized.
Friedrich Nietzsche
But not to perish from internal distress and doubt when one inflicts great suffering and hears the cry of suffering : that is great, that belongs to greatness.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Foolish is my happiness, and foolish things will it speak: it is still too young—so have patience with it!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Sometimes we owe a friend to the lucky circumstance that we give him no cause for envy.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Some are made modest by great praise, others insolent.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is certainly not the least charm of a theory that it is refutable it is precisely thereby that it attracts the more subtle minds. It seems that the hundred-times-refuted theory of the free will owes its persistence to this charm alone some one is always appearing who feels himself strong enough to refute it.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Emerson is a person who lives instinctively on ambrosia - and leaves everything indigestible on his plate.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Against war it may be said that it makes the victor stupid and the vanquished revengeful.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Ultimately one loves one's desires and not that which is desired.
Friedrich Nietzsche
