More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
Towards gnats and fleas we should show no pity. We would do right to hang petty thieves, petty calumniators, and slanderers.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A little health now and again is the ailing person's best remedy.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The flame is not as bright to itself as it is to those it illuminates: so too the sage.
Friedrich Nietzsche
He that writeth in blood and proverbs doth not want to be read, but learnt by heart.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The devotion of the greatest is to encounter risk and danger, and play dice for death.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Courage is the best slayer - courage which attacketh, for in every attack there is the sound of triumph.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I and me are always too deeply in conversation.
Friedrich Nietzsche
O my brothers, am I then cruel? But I say: that which is falling should also be pushed!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Not to be cowardly when it comes to our own actions! Not to leave them in the lurch!--The sting of conscience is indecent.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Lying very still and thinking very little is the most inexpensive medicine for all the sicknesses of the soul, and when administered with good intentions it grows more and more pleasant with each passing hour.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The creation of freedom for oneself and a sacred No even to duty -- for that, my brothers, the lion is needed.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Invisible threads are the strongest ties.
Friedrich Nietzsche
How far is truth susceptible of embodiment? That is the question, that is the experiment.
Friedrich Nietzsche
So long as men praise you, you can only be sure that you are not yet on your own true path but on someone else's.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One must not let oneself be misled: they say 'Judge not!' but they send to Hell everything that stands in their way.
Friedrich Nietzsche
We have no organ at all for knowledge, for truth: we know (or believe or imagine) precisely as much as may be useful in the interest of the human herd, the species: and even what is here called usefulness is in the end only a belief, something imagined and perhaps precisely that most fatal piece of stupidity by which we shall one day perish.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One can also be undignified and flattering toward a virtue.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Contentment preserves one from catching cold. Has a woman who knew that she was well dressed ever caught a cold? No, not even when she had scarcely a rag on her back.
Friedrich Nietzsche
All great things must first wear terrifying and monstrous masks, in order to inscribe themselves on the hearts of humanity.
Friedrich Nietzsche
[Heraclitus had] the highest form of pride [stemming] from a certainty of belief in the truth as grasped by himself alone. He brings this form, by its excessive development, into a sublime pathos by involuntary identification of himself with his truth.
Friedrich Nietzsche
