More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
We ought to face our destiny with courage.
Friedrich Nietzsche
My genius is in my nostrils.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Most people are too stupid to act in their own interest
Friedrich Nietzsche
If you have an enemy, do not requite him evil with good, for that would put him to shame. Rather prove that he did you some good.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Subordination to morality can be slavish or vain or self- interested or resigned or gloomily enthusiastic or thoughtless or an act of despair, just as subordination to a prince can be: in itself it is nothing moral.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is an end with priests and gods, if man becomes scientific. Moral: science is the thing forbidden in itself - it alone is forbidden. Science is the first sin, the germ of all sin, original sin. This alones is mortality: Thou shalt not know.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The snake which cannot cast its skin has to die. As well the minds which are prevented from changing their opinions they cease to be mind.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The shortest route is not the most direct one, but rather the one where the most favorable winds swell our sails:Mthat is the lesson that seafarers teach. Not to abide by this lesson is to be obstinate: here, firmness of character is tainted with stupidity.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The parasites live where the great have little secret sores.
Friedrich Nietzsche
You look up when you wish to be exalted. And I look down because I am exalted.
Friedrich Nietzsche
All things that are truly great are at first thought impossible.
Friedrich Nietzsche
We operate with nothing but things which do not exist, with lines, planes, bodies, atoms, divisible time, divisible space - how should explanation even be possible when we first make everything into an image, into our own image!
Friedrich Nietzsche
O, what nowadays does science not conceal! How much, at least, it is meant to conceal!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Beyond Good and Evil, Aphorism 153
Friedrich Nietzsche
If all alms were given only from pity, all beggars would have starved long ago.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Kindliness, friendliness, the courtesy of the heart, are ever-flowing streams of non egoistic impulses, and have given far more powerful assistance to culture than even those much more famous demonstrations which are called pity, mercy, and self-sacrifice.
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
Blessed are the sleepy ones: for they shall soon drop off.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The Germans are like women, you can scarcely ever fathom their depths - they haven't any.
Friedrich Nietzsche
one does not only wish to be understood when one writes one wishes just as surely not to be understood.
Friedrich Nietzsche
