"The small force that it takes to..." - Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

“An attack on the roots of passion means an attack on the roots of life.”

“The errors of great men are venerable because they are more fruitful than the truths of little men.”

“The discipline of suffering, of great suffering- do you not know that only this discipline has created all enhancements of man so far? That tension of the soul in unhappiness which cultivates its strength, its shudders face to face with great ruin, its inventiveness and courage in enduring, preserving, interpreting, and exploiting suffering, and whatever has been granted to it of profundity, secret, mask, spirit, cunning, greatness- was it not granted to it through suffering, through the discipline of great suffering?”

“"Baby, you know?" my mother once said to me. "I think you're the greatest woman I've ever met - and I'm not including my mother or Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt in that." She said, "You are very intelligent and you're very kind, and those two qualities do not often go together." Then she went across the street and got in her car, and I went the other way down to the streetcar. I thought, "Suppose she's right. She's intelligent - and she's too mean to lie." You see, a parent has the chance - and maybe the responsibility - to liberate her child. And my mom had liberated me when I was 17.”

“It is wonderful, for almost all his actions may be traced to pride;-and pride has often been his best friend.”

“The greatest leader is not necessarily the one who does the greatest things. He is the one that gets the people to do the greatest things.”

“Once you have seen and felt your ideal future, you will be ready and able to pay any price to get there.”

“Finding is reserved for those who reach.”

“The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today.”
