The higher man is distinguished from the lower by his fearlessness and his readiness to challenge misfortune.

As regards the celebrated ''struggle for life,'' it seems to me for the present to have been rather asserted than proved. It does occur, but as the exception; the general aspect of life is not hunger and distress, but rather wealth, luxury, even absurd prodigality -- where there is a struggle it is a struggle for power.

He who is a firstling is ever sacrificed.

Sometimes, struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If we were to go through our life without any obstacles, we would be crippled. We would not be as strong as what we could have been. Give every opportunity a chance, leave no room for regrets.

The higher we soar, the smaller we appear to those who cannot fly.

He who has a why to live can bear with almost any how.
