Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

A bad conscience is easier to cope with than a bad reputation.

A bad conscience is easier to cope with than a bad reputatio

Summary

This quote suggests that having a guilty conscience may be easier to deal with than having a tarnished reputation. While both can create feelings of regret and discomfort, having a bad reputation in the eyes of others can be more difficult to repair or overcome. A person's own conscience may allow them to seek forgiveness, make amends, and move forward, but a damaged reputation can have lasting consequences and affect how one is perceived by others. Ultimately, this quote highlights the importance of maintaining one's reputation and being mindful of the consequences of one's actions.

But what then is capital punishment but the most premeditated of murders, to which no criminal's deed, however calculated it may be, can be compared? For there to be equivalence, the death penalty would have to punish a criminal who had warned his victim of the date at which he would inflict a horrible death on him and who, from that moment onward, had confined him at his mercy for months. Such a monster is not encountered in private life.
