More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
The 'kingdom of Heaven' is a condition of the heart - not something that comes 'upon the earth' or 'after death.'
Friedrich Nietzsche
There is a stupid humility that is quite common and when a person is afflicted with it, he is once and for all disqualified for being a disciple of knowledge.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The good four. Honest with ourselves and with whatever is friend to us courageous toward the enemy generous toward the vanquished polite-always that is how the four cardinal virtues want us.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Faith means the will to avoid knowing what is true.
Friedrich Nietzsche
In art the end does not sanctify the means: but sacred means employed here can sanctify the end.

Friedrich Nietzsche
All philosophy is a form of confession.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What is bad? -Everything that arises from weakness.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche

The resourcefulness of the modern Jews, both in mind and soul, is extraordinary.
Friedrich Nietzsche
“Evil men have no songs.” How is it, then, that the Russians have songs?
Friedrich Nietzsche
The followers of a great man often put their eyes out, so that they may be the better able to sing his praise.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The sensible author writes for no other posterity than his own--that is, for his age--so as to be able even then to take pleasurein himself.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is a terrible thought, to contemplate that an immense number of mediocre thinkers are occupied with really influential matters.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Very early in my life I took the question of the relation of art to truth seriously: even now I stand in holy dread in the face of this discordance. My first book was devoted to it. The Birth of Tragedy believes in art on the background of another belief
Friedrich Nietzsche
No journey is too great, when one finds what one seeks.
Friedrich Nietzsche
He who knows himself to be profound endeavors to be clear he who would like to appear profound to the crowd endeavors to be obscure.
Friedrich Nietzsche
