More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
Priests ... these turkey-cocks of God.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Every man who has declared that some other man is an ass or a scoundrel, gets angry when the other man conclusively shows that the assertion was erroneous.
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
It is certainly not the least charm of a theory that it is refutable it is precisely thereby that it attracts the more subtle minds. It seems that the hundred-times-refuted theory of the free will owes its persistence to this charm alone some one is always appearing who feels himself strong enough to refute it.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Human existence basically is──a never to be completed imperfect tense.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Against war it may be said that it makes the victor stupid and the vanquished revengeful.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is very noble hypocrisy not to talk of one's self.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Marriage was contrived for ordinary people, for people who are capable of neither great love nor great friendship, which is to say, for most people--but also for those exceptionally rare ones who are capable of love as well as of friendship.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Seducing one's neighbor to a good opinion and then afterwards believing devoutly in this neighbor's opinion--who can match women in this clever ploy?
Friedrich Nietzsche
We ought to learn from the kine one thing: ruminating.
Friedrich Nietzsche
He who wills believes with a fair amount of certainty that will and action are somehow one he ascribes the success, the carrying out of the willing, to the will itself, and thereby enjoys an increase of the sensation of power which accompanies all success.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The parasites live where the great have little secret sores.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Among the wealthy, generosity is often merely a kind of shyness.
Friedrich Nietzsche
In affability there is no hatred of men, but for that very reason there is all too much contempt for men.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What is the greatest thing ye can experience? It is the hour of great contempt. The hour in which even your happiness becometh loathsome unto you, and so also your reason and virtue.
Friedrich Nietzsche
At heart I am a warrior.
Friedrich Nietzsche
When Zarathustra was alone . . . he said to his heart: Could it be possible! This old saint in the forest hath not yet heard of it, that God is dead!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Our salvation lies not in knowing, but in creating!
Friedrich Nietzsche
What is bad? All that proceeds from weakness
Friedrich Nietzsche
Fear is the mother of morality.
Friedrich Nietzsche
