Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

We are franker towards others than towards ourselves.

We are franker towards others than towards ourselves.

Summary

This quote suggests that we tend to be more honest and direct in our interactions with others compared to the way we engage with ourselves. We often prioritize maintaining polite or socially acceptable facades in our self-reflection, which can prevent us from being truly transparent about our thoughts, feelings, and shortcomings. While we may freely express opinions or critique others, there is a tendency to avoid self-criticism or delve deep into our own vulnerabilities. It highlights the complexity of human nature and the challenge of being truly open and honest with oneself.

If we lose the virile, manly qualities, and sink into a nation of mere hucksters, putting gain over national honor, and subordinating everything to mere ease of life, then we shall indeed reach a condition worse than that of the ancient civilizations in the years of their decay.
