"There will always be rocks in the..." - Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

“Moderation sees itself as beautiful; it is unaware that in the eye of the immoderate it appears black and sober and consequently ugly-looking.”

“Unexplained, obscure matters are regarded as more important than explained, clear ones.”

“The most common sort of lie is the one uttered to one's self.”

“A person who is worried about the outcome of his work does not see his goal; he sees only his opposition and the obstacles before him.”

“The great Big Black Things that have loomed against the horizon of my life, threatening to devour me, simply loomed and nothing more. The things that have really made me miss my train havealways been sweet, soft, pretty, pleasant things of which I was not in the least afraid.”

“Every noble work is bound to face problems and obstacles. It is important to check your goal and motivation thoroughly. One should be very truthful, honest, and reasonable. One's actions should be good for others, and for oneself as well. Once a positive goal is chosen, you should decide to pursue it all the way to the end. Even if it is not realized, at least there will be no regret.”

“The world is like an eye, a beard, a spot of beauty and eyebrow, Where each thing is neatly in place.”

“Antisthenes used to say that envious people were devoured by their own disposition, just as iron is by rust. Envy of others comes from comparing what they have with what the envious person has, rather than the envious person realising they have more than what they could have and certainly more than some others and being grateful. It is really just an inability to get a correct perspective on their lives.”

“Think not so much of what thou hast not as of what thou hast: but of the things which thou hast, select the best, and then reflect how eagerly they would have been sought, if thou hadst them not. At the same time, however, take care that thou dost not, through being so pleased with them, accustom thyself to overvalue them, so as to be disturbed if ever thou shouldst not have them.”
