318 Flattery. People who want to flatter us to dull our caution in dealing with them are using a very dangerous tool, like a sleeping potion which, if it does not put us to sleep, keeps us only the more awake. | Friedrich Nietzsche | Human, All Too Human: Section Six: Man in Society - Aphorism #318 | 100 | 13 years, 8 months ago | | | 319 Good letter-writer. The man who writes no books, thinks a lot, and lives in inadequate society will usually be a good letter-writer. | Friedrich Nietzsche | Human, All Too Human: Section Six: Man in Society - Aphorism #319 | 99 | 13 years, 8 months ago | | | 320 Most ugly. It is to be doubted whether a well-traveled man has found anywhere in the world regions more ugly than in the human face. | Friedrich Nietzsche | Human, All Too Human: Section Six: Man in Society - Aphorism #320 | 99 | 13 years, 8 months ago | | | 321 The sympathetic. Sympathetic natures, always helpful in a misfortune, are rarely the same ones who share our joy: when others are happy, they have nothing to do, become superfluous, do not feel in possession of their superiority, and therefore easily show dissatisfaction. | Friedrich Nietzsche | Human, All Too Human: Section Six: Man in Society - Aphorism #321 | 98 | 13 years, 8 months ago | | | 322 Relatives of a suicide. The relatives of a suicide resent him for not having stayed alive out of consideration for their reputation. | Friedrich Nietzsche | Human, All Too Human: Section Six: Man in Society - Aphorism #322 | 95 | 13 years, 8 months ago | | |
