"But anyone who has really made sacrifices..." - Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

“We set no special value on the possession of a virtue until we percieve that it is entirely lacking in our adversary.”

“The growth of wisdom may be gauged exactly by the diminution of ill-temper.”

“Why does man not see things? He is himself standing in the way: he conceals things.”

“In order to become prosperous, a person must initially work very hard, so he or she has to sacrifice a lot of leisure time.”

“If the situation was such that there was only one learned lama or genuine practitioner alive, a person whose death would cause the whole of Tibet to lose all hope of keeping its Buddhist way of life, then it is conceivable that in order to protect that one person it might be justified for one or 10 enemies to be eliminated if there was no other way.”

“A scar nobly got is a good livery of honor.”

“What men call friendship is no more than a partnership, a mutual care of interests, an exchange of favors - in a word, it is a sort of traffic, in which self-love ever proposes to be the gainer.”

“When we disclaim praise, it is only showing our desire to be praised a second time.”

“Usually we praise only to be praised.”
