Image
Undeserved praise causes more pangs of conscience later than undeserved blame, but probably only for this reason, that our power of judgment are more completely exposed by being over praised than by being unjustly underestimated.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
This woman is beautiful and clever: but how much cleverer she would have become if she were not beautiful!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Prejudice of the learned. - The learned judge correctly that people of all ages have believed they know what is good and evil, praise- and blameworthy. But it is a prejudice of the learned that we now know better than any other age.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
All idealism is falsehood in the face of necessity.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The greatest events-they are not our loudest but our stillest hours.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The person lives most beautifully who does not reflect upon existence
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Asceticism is the right way of thinking for those who have to extirpate their sensual drives because they are ravening beasts of prey. But only for those!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Companions the creator seeks, not corpses, not herds and believers. Fellow creators the creator seeks -- those who write new values on new tablets. Companions the creator seeks, and fellow harvesters for everything about him is ripe for the harvest.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
In the true man there is a child concealed who wants to play.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
An artist chooses his subjects: that is the way he praises.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
There are no facts, only interpretations.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Behold! I am weary of my wisdom, like the bee that has gathered too much honey I need hands outstretched to take it from me. I wish to spread it and bestow it, until the wise have once more become joyous in their folly, and the poor happy in their riches.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The anarchist and the Christian have a common origin.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
For some natures, changing their opinions is just as much a requirement of cleanliness as changing their clothes: for others, however, it is merely a requirement of vanity.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
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
Image
When we have to change our mind about a person, we hold the inconvenience he causes us very much against him.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Whom do I hate most among the rabble of today? The socialist rabble, the chandala apostles, who undermine the instinct, the pleasure, the worker's sense of satisfaction with his small existence-who make him envious, who teach him revenge. The source of wrong is never unequal rights but the claim of equal rights.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
I have never come across someone who could inspire more respect than the Greek philosophers.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Man is no longer an artist, he has become a work of art.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Anyone who has looked deeply into the world may guess how much wisdom lies in the superficiality of men. The instinct that preserves them teaches them to be flighty light, and false.
Friedrich Nietzsche
