" "If you invest all your energy in economics, world commerce, parliamentarianism, military engagements, power and power politics, -if you take the quantum of intelligence, seriousness, will, and self-overcoming that you embody and expend it all in this one direction, there there won't be any left for the other direction.

Additional quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
Die geistigsten Menschen, als die Stärksten, finden ihr Glück, worin andre ihren Untergang finden würden: im Labyrinth, in der Härte gegen sich und andre, im Versuch; ihre Lust ist die Selbstbezwingung: der Asketismus wird bei ihnen Natur, Bedürfnis, Instinkt. Die schwere Aufgabe gilt ihnen als Vorrecht; mit Lasten zu spielen, die andre erdrücken, eine Erholung... Erkenntnis – eine Form des Asketismus. – Sie sind die ehrwürdigste Art Mensch: das schließt nicht aus, daß sie die heiterste, die liebenswürdigste sind.
