Friedrich Nietzsche Littles Quotations

Nothing has been purchased more dearly than the little bit of reason and sense of freedom which now constitutes our pride.

A little health now and again is the ailing person's best remedy.

Truly, whoever possesses little is that much less possessed: praised be a little poverty!

Great men's errors are to be venerated as more fruitful than little men's truths.

Where the past is venerated the clean and those who clean things up should be kept out. Piety is never happy without a little dust, dirt, and rubbish.

Men are cowards when it comes to the "eternally feminine": and the little women know it.

When a man has just been greatly honored and has eaten a little he is the most generous.

Rash actions are seldom committed in isolation. With the first rash action we always do too much. So we usually go on to commit asecond one--and then we do too little.

Although you have so far demonstrated little faith in my ability to pay, I yet hope to demonstrate that I am somebody who pays his debts-for example, to you.

Whether we immoralists do any harm to virtue?-Just as little as anarchists do to princes. It is only because they have been shot at that they once again sit securely on their thrones. Moral: we must shoot at morals.

Pity aims just as little at the pleasure of others as malice at the pain of others Per-Se.

A little wisdom is indeed possible; but this blessed security have I found in all things, that they prefer--to DANCE on the feet of chance.

... hitherto we have been permitted to seek beauty only in the morally good - a fact which sufficiently accounts for our having found so little of it and having had to seek about for imaginary beauties without backbone! - As surely as the wicked enjoy a hundred kinds of happiness of which the virtuous have no inkling, so too they possess a hundred kinds of beauty; and many of them have not yet been discovered.

He who possesseth little is so much the less possessed. Blessed be moderate poverty!

The parasites live where the great have little secret sores.

Sit as little as possible. Give no credence to any thought that was not born outdoors while moving about freely.

One must shed the bad taste of wanting to agree with many. "Good" is no longer good when one's neighbor mouths it. And how should there be a "common good"! The term contradicts itself: whatever can be common always has little value. In the end it must be as it is and always has been: great things remain for the great, abysses for the profound, nuances and shudders for the refined, and, in brief, all that is rare for the rare.

It is so little true that martyrs offer any support to the truth of a cause that I am inclined to deny that any martyr has ever had anything to do with the truth at all.

A little poison now and then: that makes for pleasant dreams. And a lot of poison at the end, for a pleasant death.
