Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

Vornehmer ist's, sich Unrecht zu geben als Recht zu behalten, sonderlich wenn man Recht hat. Nur muss man reich genug dazu sein.

Vornehmer ist's, sich Unrecht zu geben als Recht zu behalten

Summary

This quote suggests that it is nobler to admit to being wrong than to stubbornly cling to being right, especially when one is indeed in the right. However, it also implies that being able to admit one's mistakes requires financial stability or power, possibly alluding to the privilege of having the means to recover from one's errors.
