"I am a prelude to better players,..." - Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

“The surest sign that two people no longer speak the same language is that both say ironic things to one another but that neither senses the irony.”

“Most thinkers write badly, because they communicate not only their thoughts, but also the thinking of them.”

“Every virtue inclines to stupidity, every stupidity to virtue; "stupid to the point of sanctity," they say in Russia, - let us be careful lest out of pure honesty we eventually become saints and bores!”

“Real power does not consist in the ability to inflict capital punishment upon the subjects, but in the will and the ability to protect the subjects against the world.”

“Initiative is doing the right thing without being told.”

“One must require from each one the duty which each one can perform. Accepted authority rests first of all on reason.”

“There is not a need to prove anything to anyone with your words. Let that which you are - that which you are living - be your clear example to uplift others.”

“Lectures often confuse our kids, but the example we set is crystal clear.”

“Nothing is so catching as example.”
