Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

What is happening to me happens to all fruits that grow ripe. It is the honey in my veins that makes my blood thicker, and my soul quieter.

What is happening to me happens to all fruits that grow ripe

Summary

This quote reflects on the natural process of maturation and the transformative effects it has on an individual. Just like a ripe fruit, as one grows older and wiser, there is a metaphorical richness that flows within them, symbolized by the "honey in my veins." This richness gives a sense of depth and calmness to their personality, resulting in a quieter soul. It implies that with experience and maturity, a person gains inner tranquility and a deeper understanding of oneself.

That it sought power because men in the mass were frail cowardly creatures who could not endure liberty or face the truth, and must be ruled over and systematically deceived by others who were stronger than themselves. That the choice for mankind lay between freedom and happiness, and that, for the great bulk of mankind, happiness was better.

It is more profitable for me to have a team that is in contention for most of the season but finishes about fourth. A team like that will draw well enough during the first part of the season to show a profit for the year, and you don't have to give the players raises when they don't win.http://www.baseballlibrary.com/baseballlibrary/ballplayers/M/Mack_Connie.stm
