That which does not kill us makes us stronger.

God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. Yet his shadow still looms. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers?

We love life, not because we are used to living but because we are used to loving. 
When marrying, ask yourself this question: Do you believe that you will be able to converse well with this person into your old age? Everything else in marriage is transitory.
In individuals, insanity is rare; but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule.

If there is something to pardon in everything, there is also something to condemn.
