Hilarious, I could start anywhere with this, but ok, Nietschze was a famous philiosopher who inspired Hitler, that sure makes him great . I stated the source in one of the posts you'll have to find it I think he was a University of London and Harvard Politics Prof in the Late 50's So he had a real job My opinion is the same as his.

You see inspiring something doesn't make you great or not...Nietzsche from his teachings is great and just because some Madman took his teachings turned them upside down and fed them to the masses doesn't make him any less of a good Philosopher...and nowadays he is considered ass one of the greats ....although not liked to be believed in....
I know I saw the source but you have to do it every time and show that its a quote...please that would make debating much easier.....I am just saying that what he said aboot Nietzsche is not necessarily true...he interpreted him that way....although it is very unlikely Nietzsche meant it that way.....
And I answered to what he said...I will quote it for you:

I think giving the source once is enough on here!
He was insane only after he displayed "love" for the horse (an action many followers saw as hypocritical) I have quoted Nietzsche himself a great deal. Being well known due to Hitler, because make no bones about it he was not well thought of alive and his notoriety is purely due to his sisters links to the Nazi Party, does not make you a great philosopher.

You keep using Nietscze, I will use a far better and more famous (in his lifetime philosopher Bertrand Russells words)
Three passions have governed my life:
The longings for love, the search for knowledge,
And unbearable pity for the suffering of [humankind].
Love brings ecstasy and relieves loneliness.
In the union of love I have seen
In a mystic miniature the prefiguring vision
Of the heavens that saints and poets have imagined.
With equal passion I have sought knowledge.
I have wished to understand the hearts of [people].
I have wished to know why the stars shine.
Love and knowledge led upwards to the heavens,
But always pity brought me back to earth;
Cries of pain reverberated in my heart
Of children in famine, of victims tortured
And of old people left helpless.
I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot,
And I too suffer.
This has been my life; I found it worth living.

He wants to stop evil but he can't and because of that he suffers.
Again its all about him, he suffers because he can't stop the suffering of other people. The reason he would want to stop the suffering of other people is to make sure he can stop suffering and so that he can finally go upwards into the heavens.

Martin Wright Edelman
It's time for greatness -- not for greed. It's a time for idealism -- not ideology. It is a time not just for compassionate words, but compassionate action.
Martin Luthor King Junior
I look forward confidently to the day when all who work for a living will be one with no thought to their separateness as Negroes, Jews, Italians or any other distinctions. This will be the day when we bring into full realization the American dream -- a dream yet unfulfilled. A dream of equality of opportunity, of privilege and property widely distributed; a dream of a land where men will not take necessities from the many to give luxuries to the few; a dream of a land where men will not argue that the color of a man's skin determines the content of his character; a dream of a nation where all our gifts and resources are held not for ourselves alone, but as instruments of service for the rest of humanity; the dream of a country where every man will respect the dignity and worth of the human personality.
Pearl S Buck
Life without idealism is empty indeed. We just hope or starve to death.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Each man has his own vocation; his talent is his call. There is one direction in which all space is open to him.
Victor Frankl
We can discover this meaning in life in three different ways: (1) by doing a deed; (2) by experiencing a value; and (3) by suffering.
and most importantly and read and understand it
William Ellery Channing
Every human being has a work to carry on within, duties to perform abroad, influence to exert, which are peculiarly his, and which no conscience but his own can teach.

Albert eistein maybe says it best, not bad for a dyslexic like me
A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.
