More From Friedrich Nietzsche

I have tried to devote my life - with all my husband failures, father failures, pastor failures, friend failures, any other possible failures i'm sure i've done them - to the god-centeredness of god and my aspiring, yearning to join him in that activity. god is passionate about hallowing the name of god.

Skepsis. i am a true skeptic, born under the noble sign of skepsis, the sign of the man who knows that all astrology is absolutely and without reservation the bullest of bullsh*t that ever there was. it is a senseless delusion that does not even have the benefit of being harmless fun. it is a harmful bore. harmful to the human spirit, harmful to the dignity and wonder of the real universe and the real power of the mind to think for itself. i hate astrology with a fervor that is almost frightening. - stephen fry (when asked what sign he would be if he could create his own zodiac)
Fun Real Hate
Pity the nation whose statesman is a fox, whose philosopher is a juggler, and whose art is the art of patching and mimicking. pity the nation that welcomes its new ruler with trumpetings, and farewells him with hootings, only to welcome another ruler with trumpetings again. pity the nation whose sages are dumb with years and whose strong men are yet in the cradle. pity the nation divided into fragments, each fragment deeming itself a nation.
Art Strong Farewell
Pity is not natural to man. children are always cruel. savages are always cruel. pity is acquired and improved by the cultivation of reason. we may have uneasy sensations from seeing a creature in distress, without pity; for we have not pity unless we wish to relieve them.

I believe that pity is a law like justice, and that kindness is a duty like uprightness. that which is weak has a right to the kindness and pity of that which is strong. in the relations of man with the animals...there is a great ethic, scarcely perceived as yet, which will at length break through into the light, and which will be the corollary and the complement to humans ethics. are there not here unsounded depths for the thinker? is one to think oneself mad because one has the sentiment of universal pity in one's heart?
Strong Kindness Believe
How do entrepreneurs survive their early failures? they don't view their failures as failures - they view these experiences as feedback, and a prelude to future success.

Similar Quotes
To refer the power in question to the clause "to provide for the common defense and general welfare" would be contrary to the established and consistent rules of interpretation, as rendering the special and careful enumeration of powers which follow the clause nugatory and improper. such a view of the constitution would have the effect of giving to congress a general power of legislation instead of the defined and limited one hitherto understood to belong to them, the terms "common defense and general welfare" embracing every object and act within the purview of a legislative trust.
