Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.
Friedrich Nietzsche

A sense is what has the power of receiving into itself the sensible forms of things without the matter, in the way in which a piece of wax takes on the impress of a signet-ring without the iron or gold.
Aristotle

If you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche

Not when truth is dirty, but when it is shallow, does the enlightened man dislike to wade into its waters.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Whoever battles with monsters had better see that it does not turn him into a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.
Friedrich Nietzsche

When one has a great deal to put into it a day has a hundred pockets.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche

Those who cannot understand how to put their thoughts on ice should not enter into the heat of debate.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche

Glance into the world just as though time were gone: and everything crooked will become straight to you.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Faith is not something to grasp, it is a state to grow into.

Mahatma Gandhi

Service which is rendered without joy helps neither the servant nor the served. But all other pleasures and possessions pale into nothingness before service which is rendered in a spirit of joy.
Mahatma Gandhi

I claim that human mind or human society is not divided into watertight compartments called social, political and religious. All act and react upon one another.
Mahatma Gandhi

Unwearied ceaseless effort is the price that must be paid for turning faith into a rich infallible experience.
Mahatma Gandhi

Be slow to fall into friendship; but when thou art in, continue firm and constant.
Socrates

My attitude is that if you push me towards something that you think is a weakness, then I will turn that perceived weakness into a strength.
