"To the mean all becomes mean...." - Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

“One does not kill by anger but by laughter.”

“The essence of all beautiful art, all great art, is gratitude.”

“From the State the exceptional individual cannot expect much. He is seldom benefited by being taken into its service; the only certain advantage it can give him is complete independence. Only real culture will prevent him being too early tired out or used up, and will spare him the exhausting struggle against culture-philistinism.”

“Defect in manners is usually the defect of fine perceptions. Men are too coarsely made for the delicacy of beautiful carriage and customs. It is not quite sufficient to good breeding, a union of kindness and independence.”

“Sometimes I think I understand everything. Then I regain consciousness”

“One usually thinks people to be more dangerous than they are.”

“In all matters of opinion, our adversaries are insane.”

“Leaders must understand that some people will inevitably sell out to the evil side. Don't waste your time wondering why; spend your time discovering who.”

“To speak impartially, the best men that I know are not serene, a world in themselves. For the most part, they dwell in forms, andflatter and study effect only more finely than the rest.”
