To Become Wise You Have To Want

A Friend Whose Hopes We Cannot Satisfy Is A Friend We Would Rather Have As An Enemy.

Some People Appear To Be More Meager In Talent Than They Are, Just Because The Tasks They Set Themselves Are Always Too Great.

This Life As You Now Live It And Have Lived It, You Will Have To Live Once More And Innumerable Times More; And There Will Be Nothing New In It, But Every Pain And Every Joy And Every Thought And Sigh And Everything Unutterably Small Or Great In Your Life Will Have To Return To You, All In The Same Succession And Sequence - Even This Spider And This Moonlight Between The Trees, And Even This Moment And I Myself. The Eternal Hourglass Of Existence Is Turned Upside Down Again And Again, And You With It, Speck Of Dust!

Yet For All That, There Is Nothing In Me Of A Founder Of A Religion--religions Are Affairs Of The Rabble; I Find It Necessary To Wash My Hands After I Have Come Into Contact With Religious People.

What Is Good? All That Heightens The Feeling Of Power, The Will To Power, Power Itself In Man.
