The patient. The pine tree seems to listen, the fir tree to wait: and both without impatience: - they give no thought to the little people beneath them devoured by their impatience and their curiosity.

More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
When we are tired, we are attacked by ideas we conquered long ago.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The consequence is that every man comes to know himself solely in terms of his power for defence and attack.
Friedrich Nietzsche
All that philosophers have handled for millennia has been conceptual mummies nothing actual has ever escaped from their hands alive.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The criminal type is the type of the strong human being under unfavorable circumstances: a strong human being made sick.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Supposing truth is a woman -- what then?
Friedrich Nietzsche
In short, then, the religious cult is based upon the representations of sorcery between man and man, and the sorcerer is older than the priest.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche
The more you let yourself go, the less others let you go.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The man who sees little always sees less than there is to see the man who hears badly always hears something more than there is to hear.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is a distinction to have many virtues, but a hard lot.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The man who does not wish to be one of the mass only needs to cease to be easy on himself.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Kindliness, friendliness, the courtesy of the heart, are ever-flowing streams of non egoistic impulses, and have given far more powerful assistance to culture than even those much more famous demonstrations which are called pity, mercy, and self-sacrifice.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Nothing in life possesses value except the degree of power--assuming that life itself is the will to power.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Respectability offends my taste.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Liberalism is the transformation of mankind into cattle.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Creating-that is the great salvation from suffering, and life's alleviation. But for the creator to appear, suffering itself is needed, and much transformation.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A certain type of person strives to become a master over all, and to extend his force, his will to power, and to subdue all that resists it. But he encounters the power of others, and comes to an arrangement, a union, with those that are like him: thus they work together to serve the will to power. And the process goes on.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The 'kingdom of Heaven' is a condition of the heart - not something that comes 'upon the earth' or 'after death.'
Friedrich Nietzsche
Principle of Christian love: it insists upon being well paid in the end.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man.
Friedrich Nietzsche
