Whoever has looked deeply into the world might well guess what wisdom lies in the superficiality of men.

I love those who do not first seek a reason beyond the stars for going down and being sacrifices, but sacrifice themselves to the earth, that the earth of the Superman may hereafter arrive.

The noble soul reveres itself

There are various eyes. Even the Sphinx has eyes: and as a result there are various truths, and as a result there is no truth.

Learn to see - accustoming the eye to calm, to patience, to letting-things-come-to-it; learning to defer judgment, to encircle and encompass the question on all sides.

Necessity is not an established fact, but an interpretation.

The higher man is distinguished from the lower by his fearlessness and his readiness to challenge misfortune.
