More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche
It is a distinction to have many virtues, but a hard lot.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Great intellects are skeptical.
Friedrich Nietzsche
In the stream.- Mighty waters draw much stone and rubble along with them mighty spirits many stupid and bewildered heads.
Friedrich Nietzsche
To think historically is almost the same thing now as if in all ages history had been made according to theory.
Friedrich Nietzsche
We praise or blame as one or the other affords more opportunity for exhibiting our power of judgement.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche
Man and man's earth are unexhausted and undiscovered. Wake and listen! Verily, the earth shall yet be a source of recovery. Remain faithful to the earth, with the power of your virtue. Let your gift-giving love and your knowledge serve the meaning of the earth.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Under peaceful conditions a warlike man sets upon himself.
Friedrich Nietzsche
There are no limits to God's compassion with Paradises over their one universally felt want: he immediately created other animals besides. God's first blunder: Man didn't find the animals amusing, - he dominated them and didn't even want to be an 'animal.'
Friedrich Nietzsche
Everyone becomes brave when he observes one who despairs.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The Superman is the meaning of the earth. Let your will say: The Superman shall be the meaning of the earth!
Friedrich Nietzsche
This is the hardest of all: to close the open hand out of love, and keep modest as a giver.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A friend whose hopes we cannot satisfy is a friend we would rather have as an enemy.
Friedrich Nietzsche
As an artist one has no home in Europe except in Paris.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Almost two thousand years, and no new god!
Friedrich Nietzsche
The most spiritual human beings, assuming they are the most courageous, also experience by far the most painful tragedies: but it is precisely for this reason that they honor life, because it brings against them its most formidable weapons.
Friedrich Nietzsche
