Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

He who obeys, does not listen to himself!

He who obeys, does not listen to himself!

Summary

This quote suggests that blindly obeying others implies disregarding our own thoughts, beliefs, and desires. It implies that true listening and understanding come from recognizing and honoring our own values and inner voice. By mindlessly following others' commands, we detach ourselves from personal autonomy and lose the opportunity to be authentic and true to ourselves. Instead, it encourages asserting independence, questioning authority, and nurturing individuality to better understand and express our own perspectives.

Dreaming is not enough. You have to go a step further and use your imagination to visualize, with intent! Forget everything you've ever been taught, and believe it will happen, just as you imagined it. That is the secret. That is the mystery of life.

It is not a reproach but a compliment to learning, to say, that great scholars are less fit for business; since the truth is, business is so much a lower thing than learning, that a man used to the last cannot easily bring his stomach down to the first.
