More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
What makes one heroic? - Going out to meet at the same time one's highest suffering and one's highest hope.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Christianity, alcohol the two great means of corruption.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is the business of the very few to be independent it is a privilege of the strong.
Friedrich Nietzsche
That which an age considers evil is usually an unseasonable echo of what was formerly considered good - the atavism of an old ideal.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The moral earth, too, is round! The moral earth, too, has its antipodes! The antipodes, too, have their right to exist! There is still another world to be discovered--and more than one! Set sail, you philosophers!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Surrounded by the flames of jealousy, the jealous one winds up, like the scorpion, turning the poisoned sting against himself.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Why is it that wellnesses are not as contagious as illnesses--generally speaking, but also especially regarding taste? Or are there epidemics of health?
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is difficult to preach, this morality of mediocrity! It may never admit what it is and what it wants! It must speak about restraint and worth and duty and love of one's neighbor.
Friedrich Nietzsche
In Russia there is an emigration of intelligence: émigrés cross the frontier in order to read and to write good books. But in doing so they contribute to making their fatherland, abandoned by spirit, into the gaping jaws of Asia that would like to swallow our little Europe.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The woman and the genius do not work. Up to now, woman has been mankind's supreme luxury. In all those moments when we do our best, we do not work. Work is merely a means to these moments.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Mathematics is merely the means to a general and ultimate knowledge of man.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The good displeases us when we are not up to it.
Friedrich Nietzsche
We should consider every day lost on which we have not danced at least once.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Has a woman who knew she was well-dressed ever caught a cold?
Friedrich Nietzsche
However much we may feel for the misery of someone close to us, we always act with some artificiality in their presence. We hold-back from telling them everything we think, often because we do not genuinely mean what we say or because we take a pleasure in their plight, thankful that we are not affected.
Friedrich Nietzsche
We criticize a thinker more acutely when he advances a proposition that is disagreeable to us and yet it would be more reasonableto do so when his proposition is agreeable to us.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Perhaps no philosopher is more correct than the cynic. The happiness of the animal, that thorough cynic, is the living proof of cynicism.
Friedrich Nietzsche
There is no pre-established harmony between the furtherance of truth and the well-being of mankind.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The 'kingdom of Heaven' is a condition of the heart - not something that comes 'upon the earth' or 'after death.'
Friedrich Nietzsche
I do not know what the spirit of a philosopher could more wish to be than a good dancer. For the dance is his ideal, also his fine art, finally also the only kind of piety he knows, his 'divine service.'
Friedrich Nietzsche
