More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
Immature is the love of the youth, and immature his hatred of man and earth. His mind and the wings of his spirit are still tied down and heavy.
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
Yet for all that, there is nothing in me of a founder of a religion--religions are affairs of the rabble I find it necessary to wash my hands after I have come into contact with religious people.
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
It is terrible to die of thirst in the ocean. Do you have to salt your truth so heavily that it does not even-quench thirst any more?
Friedrich Nietzsche
And we should consider every day lost on which we have not danced at least once. And we should call every truth false which was not accompanied by at least one laugh.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Man wishes woman to be peaceable, but in fact she is essentially warlike, like the cat.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What is Genius?- To aspire to a lofty aim and to will the means to that aim.
Friedrich Nietzsche
God is dead, God remains dead, and we have killed him.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Ten times must you laugh during the day, and be cheerful otherwise your stomach, the father of affliction, will disturb you in the night.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Objectivity and justice have nothing to do with one another.
Friedrich Nietzsche
We have to learn how to come out of unclean situations cleaner than we were, and even how to wash ourselves with dirty water whenwe need to.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Every philosophy is the philosophy of some stage of life.
Friedrich Nietzsche
We praise or blame as one or the other affords more opportunity for exhibiting our power of judgement.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The empty, the one, the unmoved, the full, satiation, wanting nothing--that would be my evil: in short, dreamless sleep.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A man should not play the coward to his deeds. He should not repudiate them once he has performed them. Pangs of conscience are indecent.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One can lie with the mouth, but with the accompanying grimace one nevertheless tells the truth.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What is evil?-Whatever springs from weakness.
Friedrich Nietzsche
If virtue goes to sleep, it will be more vigorous when it awakes.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The greatest giver of alms is cowardice.
Friedrich Nietzsche
