"Free from what? What does that matter..." - Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

“Insects sting, not from malice, but because they want to live. It is the same with critics; they desire our blood not our pain.”

“The most fundamental form of human stupidity is forgetting what we were trying to do in the first place.”

“Worldly Wisdom Do not stay in the field! Nor climb out of sight. The best view of the world Is from a medium height.”

“When we were the political slaves of King George, and wanted to be free, we called the maxim that "all men are created equal" a self evident truth; but now when we have grown fat, and have lost all dread of being slaves ourselves, we have become so greedy to be masters that we call the same maxim "a self evident lie" The fourth of July has not quite dwindled away; it is still a great day-for burning fire-crackers!!!”

“Man's free agency is not of the mind, for that is bound. There is no freedom there.”

“Only free peoples can hold their purpose and their honor steady to a common end, and prefer the interests of mankind to any narrow interest of their own.”

“Power is not a means, it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship.”

“All of us perform better and more willingly when we know why we're doing what we have been told or asked to do.”

“For no man can write anything who does not think that what he writes is, for the time, the history of the world.”
