More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
No victor believes in chance.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Before the effect one believes in different causes than one does after the effect.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I have learned to walk: since then I have run. I have learned to fly: since then I do not have to be pushed in order to move. Now I am nimble, now I fly, now I see myself under myself, now a god dances within me.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The stronger becomes master of the weaker, in so far as the latter cannot assert its degree of independence here there is no mercy, no forbearance, even less a respect for laws.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche
We are doubly willing to jump into the water after some one who has fallen in, if there are people present who have not the courage to do so.
Friedrich Nietzsche
In some remote corner of the universe, poured out and glittering among innumerable solar systems, there once was a star on which clever animals invented knowledge.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The Superman is the meaning of the earth. Let your will say: The Superman shall be the meaning of the earth!
Friedrich Nietzsche
If you stare into the Abyss long enough the Abyss stares back at you.
Friedrich Nietzsche
You gave him an opportunity of showing greatness of character and he did not seize it. He will never forgive you for that.
Friedrich Nietzsche
If you have hitherto believed that life was one of the highest value and now see yourselves disappointed, do you at once have to reduce it to the lowest possible price?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Wherever Germany extends her sway, she ruins culture.
Friedrich Nietzsche
And if a man goes through fire for his doctrine - what does that prove? Verily, it is more if your own doctrine comes out of your own fire.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I am almost equal to a shadow.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Not the intensity but the duration of high feelings makes high men.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Nobody is more inferior than those who insist on being equal.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Assuming that rapture is nature's play with man, the Dionysian artist's creative activity is the play with rapture.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The definition of morality: Morality is the idiosyncrasy of decadents having the hidden desire to revenge themselves upon life - and being successful.
Friedrich Nietzsche
In a certain state it is indecent to live longer.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Live dangerously. Build your cities on the slopes of Vesuvius.
Friedrich Nietzsche
