"When the gratitude of many to one..." - Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

“There would be no sunshine in society if the born flatterers, I mean the so-called amiable people, did not bring it in with them.”

“However much we may feel for the misery of someone close to us, we always act with some artificiality in their presence. We hold-back from telling them everything we think, often because we do not genuinely mean what we say; or because we take a pleasure in their plight, thankful that we are not affected.”

“The ability to suffer is a small matter - weak women and even slaves can acheive virtuosity in that.”

“Whoever is not in his coffin and the dark grave, let him know he has enough.”

“The greatest irony in the world is that you are so blessed and don't know it.”

“It has been said that life has treated me harshly; and sometimes I have complained in my heart because many pleasures of human experience have been withheld from me...if much has been denied me, much, very much, has been given me.”

“Beware of jokes from which we go away hollow and ashamed.”

“Those who are overreached by our cunning are far from appearing to us as ridiculous as we appear to ourselves when the cunning of others has overreached us.”

“The only shame is to have none.”
