More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
Strong hope is a much greater stimulant of life than any single realised joy could be.
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
Man, full of emptiness and torn apart with homesickness for the desert has had to create from within himself an adventure, a torture-chamber, an unsafe and hazardous wilderness- this fool, this prisoner consumed with longing and despair, became the inventor of 'bad conscience'.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One should part from life as Odysseus parted from Nausicaa-blessing it rather than in love with it.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The advantage of a bad memory is that one enjoys several times the same good things for the first time.
Friedrich Nietzsche
For let us not underestimate the Christian: the Christian, false to the point of innocence, is far above the ape-regarding Christians, a well known theory of descent becomes a mere compliment.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Only idiots fail to contradict themselves three times a day.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Sometimes all you need to do to win clever people over to a principle is to present it in the form of a shocking paradox.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The Devil has the broadest perspectives for God therefore, he keeps so far away from God -- the Devil being the most ancient friend of wisdom
Friedrich Nietzsche
Generally speaking, the greater a woman's beauty, the greater her modesty.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The State is the coldest of all cold monsters.
Friedrich Nietzsche
But are there many honest people who will admit that it is pleasing to give pain?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Robinson had a servant even better than Friday: His name was Crusoe.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Verily, I do not like them, the merciful who feel blessed in their pity: they are lacking too much in shame. If I must pity, at least I do not want it known and if I do pity, it is preferably from a distance.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What an age experiences as evil is usually an untimely reverberation echoing what was previously experienced as good--the atavismof an older ideal.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Only ideas won by walking have any value.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Only great pain is, as the teacher of great suspicion, the ultimate liberator of the spirit...I doubt whether such pain improves us-but I do know it deepens us.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is some fundamental certainty which a noble soul has about itself, something which is not to be sought, is not to be found, and perhaps, also, is not to be lost. The noble soul has reverence for itself.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Oh great star! What would your happiness be if you did not have us to shine for?
Friedrich Nietzsche
That whatever a man says, promises, or resolves in passion he must stick to later on when he is cold and sober--this demand is among the heaviest burdens that weigh on humankind.
Friedrich Nietzsche
