The 'kingdom of God' is not something one waits for; it has no yesterday or tomorrow, it does not come 'in a thousand years' it is an experience within a heart; it is everywhere, it is nowhere.

The 'kingdom of God' is not something one waits for; it has no yesterday or tomorrow, it does not come 'in a thousand years' it is an experience within a heart; it is everywhere, it is nowhere.

Friedrich Nietzsche
Heart, Years, Yesterday
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (1996). “The Vision of Nietzsche”, Element Books Limited

Friedrich Nietzsche
Heart, Brain, Answers

The 'kingdom of Heaven' is a condition of the heart - not something that comes 'upon the earth' or 'after death.'

Friedrich Nietzsche
Heart, Heaven, Earth
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche, Thomas Wayne (2004). “Ecce Homo: How One Becomes what One is; The Antichrist: a Curse on Christianity”, p.135, Algora Publishing

Shackled heart, free spirit.--Whoever binds his heart tightly and imprisons it may indulge his spirit in many liberties: I have already said that once. But no one believes me unless he already knows.

Friedrich Nietzsche
Freedom, Believe, Heart

We are unknown to ourselves, we men of knowledge - and with good reason. We have never sought ourselves - how could it happen that we should ever find ourselves? It has rightly been said: "Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also"; our treasure is where the beehives of our knowledge are.

Friedrich Nietzsche
Heart, Men, Treasure
Friedrich Nietzsche (2009). “Basic Writings of Nietzsche”, p.451, Modern Library

...lust is only a sweet poison for the weakling, but for those who will with a lion's heart it is the reverently reserved wine of wines.

Friedrich Nietzsche
Sweet, Heart, Wine

I am afraid that old women are more skeptical in their most secret heart of hearts than any man: they believe in the superficiality of existence as in its essence, and all virtue and profundity is to them merely a veil over this "truth," a most welcome veil over a pudendum--and so a matter of decency and modesty, and nothing else.

Friedrich Nietzsche
Women, Believe, Heart

The belief in authority is the source of conscience; which is therefore not the voice of God in the heart of man, but the voice of some men in man.

Friedrich Nietzsche
Heart, Men, Voice
Friedrich Nietzsche (2015). “A Book For Free Spirits 2: Human Book”, p.168, 谷月社

They call you heartless; but you have a heart and I love you for being ashamed to show it.

Friedrich Nietzsche
Love You, Heart, Ashamed
Friedrich Nietzsche (1977). “The Portable Nietzsche”, p.103, Penguin

Lift up your hearts, my brothers, high, higher! And don't forget about your legs either! Lift up your legs as well, you good dancers, and better yet--stand also on your heads!

Friedrich Nietzsche
Dance, Brother, Heart

All great things must first wear terrifying and monstrous masks, in order to inscribe themselves on the hearts of humanity.

Friedrich Nietzsche
Heart, Order, Humanity

Those who create are hard of heart.

Friedrich Nietzsche
Heart, Hard

One must learn to be a sponge if one wants to be loved by hearts that overflow.

Friedrich Nietzsche
Love, Heart, Want

One ought to hold on to one's heart; for if one lets it go, one soon loses control of the head too.

Strength, Heart, Emotional
Friedrich Nietzsche (1977). “The Portable Nietzsche”, p.128, Penguin

At heart I am a warrior.

Friedrich Nietzsche
War, Heart, Warrior
Friedrich Nietzsche (2012). “Ecce Homo”, p.23, Courier Corporation

Many find their heart when they have lost their head.

Friedrich Nietzsche
Heart, Lost

He who has attained the freedom of reason to any extent cannot, for a long time, regard himself otherwise than as a wanderer on the face of the earth - and not even as a traveler towards a final goal, for there is no such thing. But he certainly wants to observe and keep his eyes open to whatever actually happens in the world; therefore he cannot attach his heart too firmly to anything individual; he must have in himself something wandering that takes pleasure in change and transitoriness.

Friedrich Nietzsche
Heart, Eye, Long

What is it that endowed things with meaning, value, significance? The creating heart, which desired, and, out of its desire, created. It created joy and woe. It wanted to satiate itself with woe. We must take all the suffering that has been endured by men and animals upon ourselves and affirm it, and possess a goal in which it acquires reason.

Friedrich Nietzsche
Heart, Men, Animal

Whoever writes in blood and aphorisms wants not to be learned but to be learned by heart.

Friedrich Nietzsche
Writing, Heart, Blood
Friedrich Nietzsche (1997). “Twilight of the Idols”, p.14, Hackett Publishing

A heart full of courage and cheerfulness needs a little danger from time to time, or the world gets unbearable.

Friedrich Nietzsche
Courage, Heart, Needs

I know the hatred and envy of your hearts. Ye are not great enough not to know of hatred and envy. Then be great enough not to be ashamed of them!

Friedrich Nietzsche
Heart, Envy, Hatred
Friedrich Nietzsche (2017). “THUS SPOKE ZARATHUSTRA (Modern Classics Series): The Magnum Opus of the World’s Most Influential Philosopher, Revolutionary Thinker and the Author of The Antichrist, The Birth of Tragedy & Beyond Good and Evil”, p.50, e-artnow

Kindliness, friendliness, the courtesy of the heart, are ever-flowing streams of non egoistic impulses, and have given far more powerful assistance to culture than even those much more famous demonstrations which are called pity, mercy, and self-sacrifice.

Friedrich Nietzsche
Powerful, Heart, Sacrifice
Friedrich Nietzsche (2012). “Human, All-Too-Human: Parts One and Two”, p.45, Courier Corporation

Crude men who feel themselves insulted tend to assess the degree of insult as high as possible, and talk about the offense in greatly exaggerated language, only so they can revel to their heart's content in the aroused feelings of hatred and revenge.

Friedrich Nietzsche
Revenge, Heart, Men
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (1984). “Human, All Too Human: A Book for Free Spirits”, p.55, U of Nebraska Press

At every step one has to wrestle for truth; one has to surrender for it almost everything to which the heart, to which our love, our trust in life, cling otherwise. That requires greatness of soul: the service of truth is the hardest service. What does it mean, after all, to have integrity in matters of the spirit? That one is severe against one's heart...that one makes of every Yes and No a matter of conscience.

Friedrich Nietzsche
Integrity, Heart, Mean
Friedrich Nietzsche (1977). “The Portable Nietzsche”, p.381, Penguin

The tragedy is that we cannot believe the dogmas of religion and metaphysics if we have the strict methods of truth in heart and head, but on the other hand, we have become through the development of humanity so tenderly suffering that we need the highest kind of means of salvation and consolation: whence arises the danger that man may bleed to death through the truth that he realises.

Friedrich Nietzsche
Believe, Heart, Mean
