"Spiritual strength and passion, when accompanied by..." - Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

“Like tourists huffing and puffing to reach the peak we forget the view on the way up.”

“The man who meets with a failure attributes this failure rather to the ill will of another than to fate.”

“Rational thought is interpretation according to a scheme which we cannot escape.”

“How beggarly appear arguments before a defiant deed!”

“What kind of people do they think we are? Is it possible they do not realize that we shall never cease to persevere against them until they have been taught a lesson which they and the world will never forget?”

“Nature is upheld by antagonism. Passions, resistance, danger, are educators. We acquire the strength we have overcome.”

“Ironic philosophies produce passionate works.”

“You implanted your highest goal into the heart of those passions: then they became your virtues and joys.”

“Passion, though a bad regulator, is a powerful spring. Any absorbing passion has the effect to deliver from the little coils and cares of every day: 'tis the heat which sets our human atoms spinning, overcomes the friction of crossing thresholds, and first addresses in society, and gives us a good start and speed, easy to continue, when once it is begun.”
