No one can construct for you the bridge upon which precisely you must cross the stream of life, no one but you yourself alone
German philosopher, cultural critic, composer, poet, philologist, and Latin and Greek scholar whose work has exerted a profound influence on Western philosophy and modern intellectual history.
Man is the cruelest animal
The advantage of a bad memory is that one enjoys several times the same good things for the first time
In individuals, insanity is rare; but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule
The snake which cannot cast its skin has to die. As well the minds which are prevented from changing their opinions; they cease to be mind
When we are tired, we are attacked by ideas we conquered long ago
We should consider every day lost on which we have not danced at least once
I have never considered myself a poet. I have no interest in poetic artistry
There has to be evil so that good can prove its purity above it
Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all others
We have to be honest about what we want and take risks rather than lie to ourselves and make excuses to stay in our comfort zone
Divide each difficulty into as many parts as is feasible and necessary to resolve it
Trying to discover the faults of other people amounts to making no effort to deal with those in oneself.
