Friedrich Nietzsche
Growth in wisdom can be measured precisely by decline in bile.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The better the state is established, the fainter is humanity. To make the individual uncomfortable, that is my task.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche
If married couples did not live together, happy marriages would be more frequent.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Many brief follies--that is what you call love. And your marriage puts an end to many brief follies, with a single long stupidity.
Friedrich Nietzsche
He turns all of his injuries into strengths, that which does not kill him makes him stronger, he is superman.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Everyone thinks that the principal thing to the tree is the fruit, but in point of fact the principal thing to it is the seed.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Sit as little as possible. Give no credence to any thought that was not born outdoors while moving about freely.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Only idiots fail to contradict themselves three times a day.
Friedrich Nietzsche
