"Some are made modest by great praise,..." - Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

“I feel all those human beings to be pernicious who can no longer oppose what they love: they thereby ruin the best things and people.”

“The small force that it takes to launch a boat into the stream should not be confused with the force of the stream that carries it along: but this confusion appears in nearly all biographies.”

“Strength is the morality of the man who stands out from the rest, and it is mine.”

“'By heaven, that thou art fair, is most infallible true, that thou art beauteous truth itself, that thou art lovely. More fairer than fair, beautiful than beauteous, truer than truth itself, have commiseration on thy heroical vassal.”

“The enjoyment that all morality has given us to now and that it continues to give us--and so, what has kept it going up to now--lies in everyone's right, without lengthy investigation, to praise and blame. And who could endure life without praising and blaming!”

“What every genuine philosopher (every genuine man, in fact) craves most is praise although the philosophers generally call it recognition!”

“Be modest. A lot was accomplished before you were born.”

“The higher our position the more modestly we should behave.”

“Mr. Attlee is a very modest man. Indeed he has a lot to be modest about.”
