"The person lives most beautifully who does..." - Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

“With one more talent one frequently stands with greater instability than with one less, as a table stands better on three legs than on four.”

“What a person is begins to betray itself when his talent weakens--when he stops showing what he can do. Talent, too, is ornamentation, and ornamentation, too, is a hiding place.”

“A man who is very busy seldom changes his opinions.”

“World, world, O world! But that thy strange mutations make us hate thee/ Life would not yield to age.”

“Life has got to be lived - that's all there is to it. At seventy, I would say the advantage is that you take life more calmly. You know that 'this, too, shall pass!'”

“Work is the only thing that gives substance to life.”

“Birth and death are not two different states, but they are different aspects of the same state.”

“Each of us visits this Earth involuntarily, and without an invitation. For me, it is enough to wonder at the secrets.”

“The mystery of human existence lies not in just staying alive, but in finding something to live for.”
