More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
[Heraclitus] did not require humans or their sort of knowledge, since everything into which one may inquire he despises [as being] in contrast [to his own] inward-turning wisdom. [To him] all learning from others is a sign of nonwisdom, because the wise man focuses his vision on his own intelligence.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Most people are too stupid to act in their own interest
Friedrich Nietzsche
Morality is: the mediocre are worth more than the exceptions ... I abhore Christianity with a deadly hatred.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Once the decision has been made, close your ear even to the best counter argument: sign of a strong character. Thus an occasional will to stupidity.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Everyone carries within himself an image of womanliness derived from his mother: it is this that determines whether, on the whole,he will revere women, or despise them, or remain generally indifferent to them.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Without forgetting it is quite impossible to live at all.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A man who possesses genius is insufferable unless he also possesses at least two other things: gratitude and cleanliness.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One must separate from anything that forces one to repeat No again and again.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A beautiful woman seductively dressed will never catch cold no matter how low-cut her gown.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Beauty is for the artist something outside all orders of rank, because in beauty opposites are tamed the highest sign of power, namely power over opposites moreover, without tension: - that violence is no longer needed: that everything follows, obeys, so easily and so pleasantly - that is what delights the artist's WILL TO POWER.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I understand by 'freedom of spirit' something quite definite - the unconditional will to say No, where it is dangerous to say No.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Rash actions are seldom committed in isolation. With the first rash action we always do too much. So we usually go on to commit asecond one--and then we do too little.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Enjoyment and innocence are the most bashful things: both do not want to be sought.
Friedrich Nietzsche
We must learn to love, learn to be kind, and this from the earliest youth if education or chance give us no opportunity to practice these feelings, our soul becomes dry and unsuited even to understanding the tender inventions of loving people.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Great indebtedness does not make men grateful, but vengeful and if a little charity is not forgotten, it turns into a gnawing worm.
Friedrich Nietzsche
For what purpose humanity is there should not even concern us: why you are here, that you should ask yourself: and if you have no ready answer, then set for yourself goals, high and noble goals, and perish in pursuit of them!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Whereas the man of action binds his life to reason and its concepts so that he will not be swept away and lost, the scientific investigator builds his hut right next to the tower of science so that he will be able to work on it and to find shelter for himself beneath those bulwarks which presently exist.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Many a one cannot loosen his own fetters, but is nevertheless his friend's emancipator.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Whenever the strength of a belief strongly steps into the foreground, we must infer a certain weakness of demonstrability and the improbability of that belief.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One lives for the day, one lives very fast, one lives very irresponsibly: precisely this is called freedom.
Friedrich Nietzsche
