More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
Rather perish than hate and fear, and twice rather perish than make oneself hated and feared — this must some day become the highest maxim for every single commonwealth.
Friedrich Nietzsche
When one does away with oneself one does the most estimable thing possible: one thereby almost deserves to live.
Friedrich Nietzsche
How is freedom measured, in individuals as in nations? By the resistance which has to be overcome, by the effort it costs to stay aloft. One would have to seek the highest type of free man where the greatest resistance is constantly being overcome: five steps from tyranny, near the threshold of the danger of servitude.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Christians call it faith ... I call it the herd.
Friedrich Nietzsche
We labour at our daily work more ardently and thoughtlessly than is necessary to sustain our life because it is even more necessary not to have leisure to stop and think. Haste is universal because everyone is in flight from himself.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One will rarely err if extreme actions be ascribed to vanity, ordinary actions to habit, and mean actions to fear.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Should not the giver be thankful that the receiver received? Is not giving a need? Is not receiving, mercy?
Friedrich Nietzsche
The doer is merely a fiction added to the deed ? the deed is everything.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The value of a thing sometimes lies not in what one attains with it, but in what one pays for it - what it costs us
Friedrich Nietzsche
There are highly gifted spirits who are always infertile simply because, owing to a weakness in temperament, they are too impatient to wait out their pregnancy to term.
Friedrich Nietzsche
State, I call it, where they all drink poison, the good and the wicked state, where they all lose themselves, the good and the wicked state, where they all call their slow suicide-life.
Friedrich Nietzsche
We are all afraid of the truth.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Astrology presupposes that the heavenly bodies are regulated in their movements in harmony with the destiny of mortals: the moral man presupposes that that which concerns himself most nearly must also be the heart and soul of things.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is hard enough to remember my opinions, without also remembering my reasons for them!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Many a man fails as an original thinker simply because his memory it too good.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A man should not play the coward to his deeds. He should not repudiate them once he has performed them. Pangs of conscience are indecent.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Not the intensity but the duration of high feelings makes high men.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Belief in form, but disbelief in content - that's what makes an aphorism charming.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The consequences of our actions take hold of us, quite indifferent to our claim that meanwhile we have 'improved.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Man, a hybrid of plant and ghost.
Friedrich Nietzsche
