4425	The overcoming of pity I count among the noble virtues [Nietzsche]
	Full Idea: The overcoming of pity I count among the noble virtues.
	From: Friedrich Nietzsche (Ecce Homo [1889], Wise §4)
	A reaction: Hm. I can just about see that there might be more important things than compassion for suffering, but I can't see any human activity that makes it worthwhile to trample on pity.
