More quotes by Christoph Martin Wieland
Man blindly works the will of fate. [Ger., Blindlings that er blos den Willen des Geschickes.]
Christoph Martin Wieland
The compulsion of fate is bitter.
Christoph Martin Wieland
An illusion which makes me happy is worth a verity which drags me to the ground.
Christoph Martin Wieland
It is commonly a dangerous thing for a man to have more sense than his neighbors. Socrates paid for his superiority with his life and if Aristotle saved his skin, it was by taking to his heels in time.
Christoph Martin Wieland
Endurance is the prerogative of woman, enabling the gentlest to suffer what would cause terror to manhood.
Christoph Martin Wieland
Too oft is transient pleasure the source of long woes.
Christoph Martin Wieland
To do nothing by halves is the way of noble spirits.
Christoph Martin Wieland
I have often thought that however learned you may talk about it, one knows nothing but what he learns from his own experience. [Ger., Da dacht ich oft: schwatzt noch so hoch gelehrt, Man weiss doch nichts, als was man selbst erfahrt.]
Christoph Martin Wieland
