Friedrich Nietzsche

Yourself, Lonely, Struggle

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.

Life, Power, Smile

Law, Liberty, Others

Truth, Art, Before
