"One can only be silent and sit..." - Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

“Our vanity desires that what we do best should be considered what is hardest for us.”

“How much rationality and higher protection there is in such self-deception, and how much falseness I still require in order to allow myself again and again the luxury of my sincerity.”

“A married philosopher belongs to comedy.”

“My pacifism is an instinctive feeling, a feeling that possesses me because the murder of men is disgusting. My attitude is not derived from any intellectual theory but is based on my deepest antipathy to every kind of cruelty and hatred.”

“Violence as a way of achieving racial justice is both impractical and immoral. I am not unmindful of the fact that violence often brings about momentary results. Nations have frequently won their independence in battle. But in spite of temporary victories, violence never brings permanent peace.”

“To give victory to the right, not bloody bullets, but peaceful ballots only, are necessary.”

“From caring comes courage.”

“A tree that cannot bend will crack in the wind. Thus by nature's own decree, the soft and gentle are triumphant.”

“The mind is but the subtle part of the body. You must retain great strength in your mind and words.”
