More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
What does not destroy me, makes me stronger.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Nobody is more inferior than those who insist on being equal.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Human existence basically is──a never to be completed imperfect tense.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A few hours of mountain climbing make a blackguard and a saint two rather similar creatures.
Friedrich Nietzsche
If there were gods, how could I endure not to be a god? Therefore there are no gods.
Friedrich Nietzsche
All preachers of morality, as also all theologians have a bad habit in common: all of them try to persuade man that he is very ill, and that a severe, final, radical cure is necessary.
Friedrich Nietzsche
To escape boredom, man works either beyond what his usual needs require, or else he invents play, that is, work that is designed to quiet no need other than that for working in general.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Each word of Heraclitus expresses the pride and the majesty of truth, but of truth grasped in intuitions rather than attained by the rope ladder of logic.
Friedrich Nietzsche
We have to learn how to come out of unclean situations cleaner than we were, and even how to wash ourselves with dirty water whenwe need to.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Creation is the great redemption from suffering and all life's growing light. But the creator must be suffering if needed and accept much change.
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
But by my love and hope I beseech you: do not throw away the hero in your soul! Hold holy your highest hope!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Whenever the strength of a belief strongly steps into the foreground, we must infer a certain weakness of demonstrability and the improbability of that belief.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Undeserved praise causes more pangs of conscience later than undeserved blame, but probably only for this reason, that our power of judgment are more completely exposed by being over praised than by being unjustly underestimated.
Friedrich Nietzsche
All truth is simple... is that not doubly a lie?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Growth in wisdom can be measured precisely by decline in bile.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is I, the ungodly Zarathustra, who says:Who is more ungodly than I, that I may rejoice in his teaching?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Egoism is the law of perspective applied to feelings: what is closest appears large and weighty, and as one moves farther away size and weight decrease.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I love him whose soul is deep even in the wounding, and may succumb through a small matter: thus goeth he willingly over the bridge.
Friedrich Nietzsche
God is a gross answer, an indelicacy against us thinkers- at bottom merely a gross prohibition for us: you shall not think!
Friedrich Nietzsche
