Strong hope is a much greater stimulant of life than any single realised joy could be.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
All philosophy is a form of confession.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Today as always, men fall into two groups: slaves and free men. Whoever does not have two-thirds of his day for himself, is a slave, whatever he may be: a statesman, a businessman, an official, or a scholar.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Do not be deceived! The busiest people harbor the greatest weariness, their restlessness is weakness--they no longer have the capacity for waiting and idleness.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
One should not go into churches if one wants to breathe pure air.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Physician, help yourself: thus help your patient too. Let this be his best help: that he may behold with his eyes the man who heals himself.
