Nietzsche, Friedrich, Wilhelm.1844-1900, German philosopher, poet and classical philologist, who became one of the most provocative and influential thinkers of the 19th century. Some of his quotes 1, 2, 3.

His father, a Lutheran minister, died when Nietzsche was five. One of Nietzsche's fundamental contentions was that traditional values (represented primarily by Christianity) had lost their power in the lives of individuals. He expressed this in his proclamation "God is dead". He was convinced that traditional values represented a 'slave morality', a morality created by weak and resentful individuals who encouraged such behavior as gentleness and kindness because the behavior served their interests..comprised from Microsoft® Encarta® Encyclopedia 99. © 1993-1998 Microsoft Corporation.

   And, what Nietzsche said is often true of religion, but the truth of the good Creator-God.needs not any religion to be effective in people's lives.

this word has several significations, 1) it is used in contradistinction to giving assent; thus we say the president has put his negative upon such a bill. 2) it is also used in contradistinction to affirmative; as, a negative does not always admit of the simple and direct.proof of which an affirmative is capable; when a party affirms a negative in his pleadings and without the establishment of which, by evidence, he cannot recover or defend himself, the burden of the proof lies upon him and he must prove the negative; although as a general rule the affirmative of every issue must be proved, yet this rule ceases to operate the moment the presumption of lawis thrown into the other scale, such as when the issue is on the legitimacy of a child, therefore, it is incumbent on the party.asserting the illegitimacy to prove it
Law:.Negative Averment:
an averment in some of the pleadings in a case in which a negative is asserted is proof of that negative; it is a general rule, established for the purpose of shortening and facilitating.investigations, that the point in issue is to be proved by the party who asserts the affirmative but as this rule is not founded on any presumption of law in favor of the party, but is merely a rule of practice and convenience, it ceases in all cases when the presumption of law is thrown into the opposite scale, for example, when the issue is on the legitimacy of a child born in lawful wedlock, it is incumbent on the party asserting its illegitimacy to prove it; upon the same principle, when the negative averment involves a charge of criminal neglect of duty, whether official or otherwise, it must be proved, for the law presumes every man to perform the duties which it imposes

Usage note: Care should be taken with the placement of 'not' and other negatives in a sentence in order to avoid ambiguity ('all elephants are not friendly' could be taken to mean either 'all elephants are unfriendly' or 'not all elephants are friendly' where the true meaning is 'not all elephants are unfriendly').

The 'not only' construction of a sentence should be used in such a way that each of the elements in the sentence is followed by a similar construction type. Instead of 'she not only bought a new car but a new lawnmower', write 'she bought not only a new car but a new lawnmower'. See Usage Note at only. See more Usage notes.
