Friedrich Nietzsche
Friedrich Nietzsche
1888·Basel, Switzerland

My formula for greatness in a human being is amor fati: that one wants nothing to be different, not forward, not backward, not in all eternity. Not merely bear what is necessary, but love it.

Similar Thoughts

SenecaSeneca·65 AD

It is to this law that our souls must adjust themselves, this they should follow, this they should obey. Whatever happens, assume that it was bound to happen, and do not be willing to rail at Nature. That which you cannot reform, it is best to endure, and to attend uncomplainingly upon the God under whose guidance everything progresses; for it is a bad soldier who grumbles when following his commander.

Marcus AureliusMarcus Aurelius·174 AD

Accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together.

Marcus AureliusMarcus Aurelius·180 AD

Everything that happens is either endurable or not. If it's endurable, then endure it. Stop complaining. If it's unendurable . . . then stop complaining. Your destruction will mean its end as well.
