More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
Once and for all, there are many things I choose not to know.--Wisdom sets limits even to knowledge.
Friedrich Nietzsche
To be the equal of one's opponent-this is the first condition of an honourable duel.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Belief in form, but disbelief in content - that's what makes an aphorism charming.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Morality in Europe today is herd-morality
Friedrich Nietzsche
The lack of closeness among friends is a fault that cannot be reprimanded without becoming incurable.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I am too inquisitive, too skeptical, too arrogant, to let myself be satisfied with an obvious and crass solution of things. God is such an obvious and crass solution a solution which is a sheer indelicacy to us thinkers - at bottom He is really nothing but a coarse commandment against us: ye shall not think!
Friedrich Nietzsche
The noble man honours in himself the powerful one, him also who has power over himself, who knows how to speak and how to keep silence, who takes pleasure in subjecting himself to severity and hardness, and has reverence for all that is severe and hard.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The saying, The Magyar is much too lazy to be bored, is worth thinking about. Only the most subtle and active animals are capable of boredom.--A theme for a great poet would be God's boredom on the seventh day of creation.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Strong hope is a much greater stimulant of life than any single realised joy could be.
Friedrich Nietzsche
For a significant man woman, the one thought he values greatly, to the laughter and scorn of insignificant men, is a key to hidden treasure chambers for those others, it is nothing but a piece of old iron.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Was that life? Well then, once more!
Friedrich Nietzsche
no one talks more passionately about his rights than he who in the depths of his soul doubts whether he has any
Friedrich Nietzsche
When we have a great goal we are superior even to justice, not merely to our deeds and our judges.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Some rule out of a lust for ruling others, so as not to be ruled:Mto these it is merely the lesser of two evils.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Books for general reading always smell bad the odor of common people hangs around them.
Friedrich Nietzsche
You I advise not to work, but to fight. You I advise not to peace, but to victory. Let your work be a fight, let your peace be a victory!
Friedrich Nietzsche
What destroys a man more quickly than to work, think and feel without inner necessity, without any deep personal desire, without pleasure - as a mere automaton of duty?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Speaking is a beautiful folly with that man dances over all things.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Most people are too stupid to act in their own interest
Friedrich Nietzsche
He who cannot command himself should obey. And many can command themselves, but much is still lacking before they can obey themselves.
Friedrich Nietzsche
