Friedrich Nietzsche

He who has a why to live can bear almost any how.

In music the passions enjoy themselves.

Enduring habits I hate…. Yes, at the very bottom of my soul I feel grateful to all my misery and bouts of sickness and everything about me that is imperfect, because this sort of thing leaves me with a hundred backdoors through which I can escape from enduring habits.

Which is it, is man one of God’s blunders or is God one of man’s?

The man of knowledge must be able not only to love his enemies but also to hate his friends.

To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.

Your worst enemy cannot harm you as much as your own unguarded thoughts.

The law of God, as quite plainly expressed in woman’s construction, is this: There shall be no limit put upon your intercourse with the other sex sexually, at any time of life. During twenty-three days in every month (in the absence of pregnancy) from the time a woman is seven years old till she dies of old age, she is ready for action, and competent. As competent as the candlestick is to receive the candle. Competent every day, competent every night. Also, she wants that candle – yearns for it, longs for it, hankers after it, as commanded by the law of God in her heart.

It was the schoolboy who said, Faith is believing what you know ain’t so.

If you are unable to find the truth right where you are, where else do you expect to find it?

Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.

Meditation is the ultimate mobile device; you can use it anywhere, anytime, unobtrusively.

Still water has no mind to receive the image of the migrating geese.

It is easy to believe we are each waves and forget we are also the ocean.

Faith is one of the most effective tools in the human equipment. I believe that faith works.

Only one thing is impossible for God: To find any sense in any copyright law on the planet.

I was kosher until I had my Bar Mitzvah, and I parlayed officially becoming a man into telling my father I wanted to eat cheeseburgers.

I think every person should have some faith inside him, in his heart. What matters is not an external display of this faith, but the inner state of the soul.

It is the final proof of God’s omnipotence that he need not exist in order to save us.

Believe in something larger than yourself…get involved in the big ideas of your time.

A miracle is an event which creates faith. That is the purpose and nature of miracles. Frauds deceive. An event which creates faith does not deceive: therefore it is not a fraud, but a miracle.
