"Even the most beautiful scenery is no..." - Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

“A strong and well-constituted man digests his experiences (deeds and misdeeds all included) just as he digests his meats, even when he has some tough morsels to swallow.”

“The hour-hand of life.”

“I call a lie: wanting not to see something one does see, wanting not to see something as one sees it... The most common lie is the lie one tells to oneself; lying to others is relatively the exception.”

“The ego always looks toward the next moment for some kind of fulfillment.”

“There are three wants which never can be satisfied: that of the rich, who wants something more; that of the sick, who wants something different; and that of the traveler, who says anywhere but here.”

“Truth is no harlot who throws her arms round the neck of him who does not desire her; on the contrary, she is so coy a beauty that even the man who sacrifices everything to her can still not be certain of her favors.”

“Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.”

“My precept to all who build, is, that the owner should be an ornament to the house, and not the house to the owner.”

“Possessions are usually diminished by possession.”
