One will rarely err if extreme actions be ascribed to vanity, ordinary actions to habit, and mean actions to fear. -Friedrich Nietzsche, philosopher (1844-1900)
Is Nietzsche talking about ascribing one's own actions or the actions of others? Since the ascriptions are rather unflattering, I would guess he means the latter.
