"Thus strength is afforded by good and..." - Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

“Many other such substitutes for war will be discovered, but perhaps precisely thereby it will become more and more obvious that such a highly cultivated and therefore necessarily enfeebled humanity as that of modern Europe not only needs wars, but the greatest and most terrible wars, consequently occasional relapses into barbarism, lest, by the means of culture, it should lose its culture and its very existence.”

“It is certainly not the least charm of a theory that it is refutable; it is precisely thereby that it attracts the more subtle minds. It seems that the hundred-times-refuted theory of the "free will" owes its persistence to this charm alone; some one is always appearing who feels himself strong enough to refute it.”

“I speak and the child plays: who can be more serious than we are?”

“From whence shall we expect the approach of danger? Shall some trans-Atlantic military giant step the earth and crush us at a blow? Never. All the armies of Europe and Asia...could not by force take a drink from the Ohio River or make a track on the Blue Ridge in the trial of a thousand years. No, if destruction be our lot we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of free men we will live forever or die by suicide.”

“Even when our heart aches, we summon the strength that maybe we didn't even know we had, and we carry on; we finish the race.”

“We should never fear to negotiate, nor negotiate from fear.”

“The superior man, even when he is not moving, has a feeling of reverence, and while he speaks not, he has the feeling of truthfulness.”

“Don't do what's right to get something. Do the right thing because it's the right thing.”

“The Wise Man is square but not sharp, honest but not not malign, straight but not severe, bright but not dazzling.”
