The free man is a warrior.
Friedrich Nietzsche -
Along the journey we commonly forget its goal. Almost every vocation is chosen and entered upon as a means to a purpose but is ultimately continued as a final purpose in itself. Forgetting our objectives is the most frequent stupidity in which we indulge ourselves.

Many a one cannot loosen his own fetters, but is nevertheless his friend's emancipator.
Friedrich Nietzsche -
It was the sick and decaying who despised the body and earth and invented the heavenly realm and the redemptive drops of blood: but they took even these sweet and gloomy poisons from body and earth. They wanted to escape their own misery, and the stars were too far for them.
Friedrich Nietzsche -
Shared joys make a friend, not shared sufferings.

Friedrich Nietzsche -
Everyone who enjoys thinks that the principal thing to the tree is the fruit, but in point of fact the principal thing to it is the seed.-Herein lies the difference between them that create and them that enjoy.

More and more it seems to me that the philosopher, being of necessity a man of tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, has always found himself, and had to find himself, in contradiction to his today: his enemy was ever the ideal of today. So far all these extraordinary furtherers of men whom one calls philosophers, though they themselves have rarely felt like friends of wisdom but rather like disagreeable fools and dangerous question marks, have found their task, their hard, unwanted, inescapable task, but eventually also the greatness of their task, in being the bad conscience of their time.
Friedrich Nietzsche -
Whatever is gold does not glitter. A gentle radiance belongs to the noblest metal.
Friedrich Nietzsche -

Friedrich Nietzsche -
He who is punished is never he who performed the deed. He is always the scapegoat.
Friedrich Nietzsche
