More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
From passions grow opinions intellectual laziness lets these harden into convictions.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A sedentary life is the real sin against the Holy Spirit. Only those thoughts that come by walking have any value.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Chastity is a virtue with some, but with many it is almost a vice.
Friedrich Nietzsche
However unchristian it may seem, I do not even bear any ill feeling towards myself.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Democracy represents the disbelief in all great men and in all elite societies: everybody is everybody's equal.
Friedrich Nietzsche
To demand of strength that it should not express itself as strength, that it should not be a desire to overcome, a desire to throw down, a desire to become master, a thirst for enemies and resistances and triumphs, is just as absurd as to demand of weakness that it should express itself as strength.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Christianity in particular should be dubbed a great treasure-chamber of ingenious consolations, such a store of refreshing, soothing, deadening drugs has it accumulated within itself.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Moralities and religions are the principal means by which one can make whatever one wishes out of man, provided one possesses a superfluity of creative forces and can assert one's will over long periods of time in the form of legislation and customs.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The genius-in work and in deed-is necessarily a squanderer: the fact that he spends himself constitutes his greatness.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Good deeds shun the light as anxiously as evil deeds: the latter fear that disclosure will bring on pain (as punishment), while the former fear that disclosure will take away pleasure (that pure pleasure, that pleasure per se, which immediately ceases once the vanity's satisfaction is added).
Friedrich Nietzsche
The hour-hand of life.
Friedrich Nietzsche
In compassionate men, severity is a virtue.
Friedrich Nietzsche
There are expressions and bulls-eyes of the spirit, there are epigrams, a little handful of words, in which a whole culture, a whole society is suddenly crystallized.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Tolerance is a proof of distrust in one's own ideals.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Little prigs and three-quarter madmen may have the conceit that the laws of nature are constantly broken for their sakes.
Friedrich Nietzsche
There would be no sunshine in society if the born flatterers, I mean the so-called amiable people, did not bring it in with them.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Follow in the footsteps of your fathers' virtue! How could you hope to climb high unless your fathers' will climbs with you?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Man... cannot learn to forget, but hangs on the past: however far or fast he runs, that chain runs with him.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Of what is great one must either be silent or speak with greatness. With greatness--that means cynically and with innocence.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The misunderstanding of passion and reason, as if the latter were an independent entity and not rather a system of relations between various passions and desires and as if every passion did not possess its quantum of reason.
Friedrich Nietzsche
