That whatever a man says, promises, or resolves in passion he must stick to later on when he is cold and sober--this demand is among the heaviest burdens that weigh on humankind.

More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
A married philosopher belongs to comedy.
Friedrich Nietzsche
People who have given us their complete confidence believe that they have a right to ours. The inference is false, a gift confers no rights.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The Christian resolution to find the world ugly and bad has made the world ugly and bad.
Friedrich Nietzsche
We would not let ourselves be burned to death for our opinions: we are not sure enough of them for that.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I do not know what meaning classical studies could have for our time if they were not untimely that is to say, acting counter to our time and thereby acting on our time and, let us hope, for the benefit of a time to come.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Tolerance is a proof of distrust in one's own ideals.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Artists may here have a more subtle scent: they know only too well that it is precisely when they cease to act 'voluntarily' and do everything of necessity that their feeling of freedom, subtlety, fullness of power, creative placing, disposing, shaping reaches its height - in short, that necessity and 'freedom of will' are then one in them.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Character is determined more by the lack of certain experiences than by those one has had.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Liberal institutions straightway cease being liberal the moment they are soundly established: Once this is attained, no more grievous and more thorough enemies of freedom exist than liberal institutions.
Friedrich Nietzsche
In Christianity neither morality nor religion come into contact with reality at any point.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A nation is a detour of nature to arrive at five or six great men- yes, and then to get around them.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I call a lie: wanting not to see something one does see, wanting not to see something as one sees it... The most common lie is the lie one tells to oneself lying to others is relatively the exception.
Friedrich Nietzsche
This woman is beautiful and clever: but how much cleverer she would have become if she were not beautiful!
Friedrich Nietzsche
To die proudly when it is no longer possible to live proudly. Death of one's own free choice, death at the proper time, with a clear head and with joyfulness, consummated in the midst of children and witnesses: so that an actual leave-taking is possible while he who is leaving is still there.
Friedrich Nietzsche
All in all, punishment hardens and renders people more insensible it concentrates it increases the feeling of estrangement it strengthens the power of resistance.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The more abstract the truth you wish to teach, the more must you allure the senses to it.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Anti-theses.- The most senile thing ever thought about man is contained in the celebrated saying 'the ego is always hateful' the most childish is the even more celebrated 'love thy neighbor as thyself'. - In the former, knowledge of human nature has ceased, in the latter it has not yet even begun.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One should not wish to enjoy where one does not give joy.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Woman learns to hate to the extent to which her charms decrease.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The text has disappeared under the interpretation.
Friedrich Nietzsche
