Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

It is not enough to prove something, one has also to seduce or elevate people to it. That is why the man of knowledge should learn how to speak his wisdom: and often in such a way that it sounds like folly!

It is not enough to prove something, one has also to seduce

Summary

This quote suggests that simply presenting facts and evidence is not sufficient to convince others of an idea or belief. In order to truly influence people, a knowledgeable individual must not only provide reasons and evidence but also engage and inspire others to embrace what they have to say. The quote emphasizes the importance of effective communication, even if it means presenting wisdom in a way that may initially sound foolish to capture the attention and curiosity of others.

He who asks fortune-tellers the future unwittingly forfeits

He who asks fortune-tellers the future unwittingly forfeits an inner intimation of coming events that is a thousand times more exact than anything they may say. He is impelled by inertia, rather than curiosity, and nothing is more unlike the submissive apathy with which he hears his fate revealed than the alert dexterity with which the man of courage lays hands on the future.
