On October 15, 1844, the German philosopher, poet, musician and philologist Friedrich Nietzsche was born. He is considered one of the most prominent and important philosophers of Western philosophy. He has left us many teachings and for this reason we reveal the most curious phrases of Nietzsche on the day of his birth.
In fact, it has served as an inspiration for the work of many other philosophers who have come later and today we put some of its teachings into practice.
Nietzsche’s quotes and teachings

The most common lie is one with which people deceive themselves. They are the most curious phrases of Nietzsche on the day of his birth.
I conjure you, my brothers, remain faithful to the earth and do not believe those who speak to you of super-earthly hopes! They are poisoners, know it or not. They are despisers of life, they are dying and they are, they too, poisoned, the earth is tired of them: may they disappear!
The individual has always struggled not to be absorbed by the tribe. If you try, you will often be lonely, and sometimes scared. But no price is too high for the privilege of being yourself.
The greatness of man is in being a bridge and not a goal: what can be loved in man is that he is a transit and a sunset.
