More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
Fear is the mother of morality.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A good aphorism is too hard for the tooth of time, and is not worn away by all the centuries, although it serves as food for every epoch.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Only where there are graves are there resurrections.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is impossible to suffer without making someone pay for it every complaint already contains revenge.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Christianity has the rancor of the sick at its very core-the instinct against the healthy, against health. Everything that is well-constructed, proud, gallant and, above all, beautiful gives offense to its ears and eyes.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Ah, women. They make the highs higher and the lows more frequent.
Friedrich Nietzsche
There are no moral phenomena at all, but only a moral interpretation of phenomena.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Every man who has declared that some other man is an ass or a scoundrel, gets angry when the other man conclusively shows that the assertion was erroneous.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I and me are always too deeply in conversation.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Towards gnats and fleas we should show no pity. We would do right to hang petty thieves, petty calumniators, and slanderers.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is possible that the production of genius is reserved to a limited period of mankind's history.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Without meaning, without substance, without aim: a mere 'public opinion'.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Without forgetting it is quite impossible to live at all.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A noble soul is not the one that can manage the highest flights but the one that rises very little and falls very little but always dwells in a free, resplendent atmosphere and altitude.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A strong and well-constituted man digests his experiences (deeds and misdeeds all included) just as he digests his meats, even when he has some tough morsels to swallow.
Friedrich Nietzsche
About sacrifice and the offering of sacrifices, sacrificial animals think quite differently from those who look on: but they have never been allowed to have their say.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The surest sign that two people no longer speak the same language is that both say ironic things to one another but that neither senses the irony.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Enjoying praise is in some people merely a civility of the heart--and just the opposite of a vanity of the spirit.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The sick are the greatest danger for the healthy it is not from the strongest that harm comes to the strong, but from the weakest.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Those you cannot teach to fly, teach to fall faster.
Friedrich Nietzsche
