Jesus died too soon. If he had lived to my age he would have repudiated his doctrine.

Those are my enemies: they want to overthrow and to construct nothing themselves. They say: "All that is worthless"--and want to create no value themselves.

One should steal only where one cannot rob.

Learn to laugh at yourselves as one must laugh!

For the purpose of knowledge we must know how to make use of the inward current which draws us towards a thing, and also of the current which after a time draws us away from it.

What we experience in dreams - assuming that we experience it often - belongs in the end just as much to the over-all economy of our soul as anything experienced "actually": we are richer or poorer on account of it.

We should turn our death into a celebration, even if only out of a malice towards life: towards the woman who wants to leave--us!
