What is happiness? The feeling that power increases - that resistance is being overcome

Silence is worse; all truths that are kept silent become poisonous.

I assess the power of a will by how much resistance, pain, torture it endures and knows how to turn to its advantage.

The will to overcome a passion is in the end merely the will of another or several other passions

But for every man there exists a bait which he cannot resist swallowing.

Man does not strive for happiness; only the Englishman does that.
