313 Vanity of the tongue. Whether a man hides his bad qualities and vices or confesses them openly, his vanity wants to gain an advantage by it in both cases: just note how subtly he distinguishes between those he will hide his bad qualities from and those he will face honestly and candidly. | Friedrich Nietzsche | Human, All Too Human: Section Six: Man in Society - Aphorism #313 | 95 | 13 years, 8 months ago | | | 314 Considerate. The wish not to annoy anyone or injure anyone can be an equally good indication of a just, as of a fearful disposition. | Friedrich Nietzsche | Human, All Too Human: Section Six: Man in Society - Aphorism #314 | 102 | 13 years, 8 months ago | | | 315 Required for debate. Whoever does not know how to put his thoughts on ice should not engage in the heat of argument. | Friedrich Nietzsche | Human, All Too Human: Section Six: Man in Society - Aphorism #315 | 107 | 13 years, 8 months ago | | | 316 Milieu and arrogance. One unlearns arrogance when he knows he is always among men of merit; solitude breeds presumption. Young people are arrogant because they go about with their own kind, each of whom is nothing, but wishes to be important. | Friedrich Nietzsche | Human, All Too Human: Section Six: Man in Society - Aphorism #316 | 102 | 13 years, 8 months ago | | | 317 Motive for attack. We attack not only to hurt a person, to conquer him, but also, perhaps, simply to become aware of our own strength. | Friedrich Nietzsche | Human, All Too Human: Section Six: Man in Society - Aphorism #317 | 97 | 13 years, 8 months ago | | |
