Friedrich Nietzsche
We ought to face our destiny with courage.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Democracy represents the disbelief in all great men and in all elite societies: everybody is everybody's equal.
Friedrich Nietzsche
From people who merely pray we must become people who bless.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I love him who chasteneth his God, because he loveth his God: for he must succumb through the wrath of his God.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Rendering oneself unarmed when one had been the best-armed, out of a height of feeling-that is the means to real peace, which must always rest on a peace of mind.
Friedrich Nietzsche
