Friedrich Nietzsche Path Quotations

Digressions, objections, delight in mockery, carefree mistrust are signs of health...

Pathetic attitudes are not in keeping with greatness.

When a nation is on the downward path, when it feels its belief in its own future, its hope of freedom slipping from it, when it begins to see submission as a first necessity and the virtues of submission as measures of self-preservation, then it must overhaul its God.

The strongest have their moments of fatigue.

Faith is the path of least resistance.

Not to him who is offensive to us are we most unfair, but to him who doth not concern us at all.

We seldom break our leg so long as life continues a toilsome upward climb. The danger comes when we begin to take things easily and choose the convenient paths.

Many are obstinate with regard to the pathway once they have set upon it, few with regard to the goal.

For as long as they praise you, never forget that it is not yet your own path that you walk, but another person's.

Objection, evasion, joyous distrust, and love of irony are signs of health; everything absolute belongs to pathology.
