Towards gnats and fleas we should show no pity. We would do right to hang petty thieves, petty calumniators, and slanderers.

More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
Blessed are the sleepy ones: for they shall soon drop off.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Whoever, at any time, has undertaken to build a new heaven has found the strength for it in his own hell.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I go in solitude, so as not to drink out of everybody's cistern. When I am among the many I live as the many do, and I do not think I really think after a time it always seems as if they want to banish myself from myself and rob me of my soul.
Friedrich Nietzsche
God is a gross answer, an indelicacy against us thinkers- at bottom merely a gross prohibition for us: you shall not think!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Books and drafts mean something quite different for different thinkers. One collects in a book the lights he was able to steal and carry home swiftly out of the rays of some insight that suddenly dawned on him, while another thinker offers us nothing but shadows - images in black and grey of what had built up in his soul the day before.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The drive toward knowledge has a moral origin.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The State is the coldest of all cold monsters.
Friedrich Nietzsche
In the last analysis, even the best man is evil: in the last analysis, even the best woman is bad.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I do not know what the spirit of a philosopher could more wish to be than a good dancer. For the dance is his ideal, also his fine art, finally also the only kind of piety he knows, his 'divine service.'
Friedrich Nietzsche
Although the most acute judges of the witches and even the witches themselves, were convinced of the guilt of witchery, the guilt nevertheless was non-existent. It is thus with all guilt.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Man makes god in his own image.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Out of a brotherly love we occasionally embrace this or that somebody (because we cannot embrace everybody): but we must never letour somebody know it.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What I understand by philosopher: a terrible explosive in the presence of which everything is in danger.
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
One will rarely err if extreme actions be ascribed to vanity, ordinary actions to habit, and mean actions to fear.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Mastery has been achieved when one neither makes a mistake nor hesitates in the performance.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Become who you are. Make what only you can make.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Joy wants the eternity of all things, wants deep, wants deep eternity.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Man is the cruelest animal. At tragedies, bullfights, and crucifixions he has so far felt best on earth and when he invented hell for himself, behold, that was his very heaven.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A little poison now and then: that makes for pleasant dreams. And a lot of poison at the end, for a pleasant death.
Friedrich Nietzsche
