More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
What is the difference between someone who is convinced and one who is deceived? None, if he is well deceived.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is my ambition to say in ten sentences what others say in a whole book.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Acknowledge your will and speak to us all, This alone is what I will to be! Hang your own penal code up above you: we want to be its enforcers!
Friedrich Nietzsche
I have forgotten my umbrella.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A philosophical mythology lies concealed in language, which breaks out again at every moment, no matter how cautious we may be.
Friedrich Nietzsche
This crown to crown the laughing man, this rose-wreath crown: I myself have set this crown upon my head, I myself have pronounced my laughter holy.
Friedrich Nietzsche
There are highly gifted spirits who are always infertile simply because, owing to a weakness in temperament, they are too impatient to wait out their pregnancy to term.
Friedrich Nietzsche
For this remains as I have already pointed out the essential difference between the two religions of decadence : Buddhism promises nothing, but actually fulfils Christianity promises everything, but fulfils nothing.
Friedrich Nietzsche
When the gratitude that many owe to one discards all modesty, then there is fame.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Every true faith is infallible. It performs what the believing person hopes to find in it. But it does not offer the least support for the establishing of an objective truth. Here the ways of men divide. If you want to achieve peace of mind and happiness, have faith. If you want to be a disciple of truth, then search.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is certainly not the least charm of a theory that it is refutable it is precisely thereby that it attracts the more subtle minds. It seems that the hundred-times-refuted theory of the free will owes its persistence to this charm alone some one is always appearing who feels himself strong enough to refute it.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Exhaustion is the shortest way to equality and fraternity.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Most people are far too much occupied with themselves to be malicious.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Without meaning, without substance, without aim: a mere 'public opinion'.
Friedrich Nietzsche
My wisdom has long accumulated like a cloud, it becomes stiller and darker. So does all wisdom which shall one day bear lightnings.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A noble soul is not the one that can manage the highest flights but the one that rises very little and falls very little but always dwells in a free, resplendent atmosphere and altitude.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Two great European narcotics, alcohol and Christianity.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Everywhere resoundeth the voices of those who preach death and the earth is full of those to whom death hath to be preached.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The really royal calling of the philosopher (as expressed by Alcuin the Anglo-Saxon): To correct what is wrong, and strengthen the right, and raise what is holy.
Friedrich Nietzsche
If you know the why, you can live any how.
Friedrich Nietzsche
