Not All That Counts, Can Be Counted

When I Was A Fairly Precocious Young Man I Became Thoroughly Impressed With The Futility Of The Hopes And Strivings That Chase Most Men Restlessly Through Life. Moreover, I Soon Discovered The Cruelty Of That Chase, Which In Those Years Was Much More Carefully Covered Up By Hypocrisy And Glittering Words Than Is The Case Today. By The Mere Existence Of His Stomach Everyone Was Condemned To Participate In That Chase. The Stomach Might Well Be Satisfied By Such Participation, But Not Man Insofar As He Is A Thinking And Feeling Being.

Nothing Truly Valuable Arises From Ambition Or From A Mere Sense Of Duty; It Stems Rather From Love And Devotion Towards Men And Towards Objective Things.

Never Underestimate Your Own Ignorance.

Force Always Attracts Men Of Low Morality, And I Believe It To Be An Invariable Rule That Tyrants Of Genius Are Succeeded By Scoundrels.

If Someone Feels That He Has Never Made A Mistake In His Life, It Only Means That He Has Never Tried Anything New In His Life.
