Franz Grillparzer
There shall be no slave in your home, male or female: Least of all the mother of your son.
Franz Grillparzer
The real genres: good and bad.
Franz Grillparzer
Boundless in your charity, but shrewd and cautious as a lender, you delight all those today whom you made beggars the day before.
Franz Grillparzer
Those who want to row on the ocean of human knowledge do not get far, and the storm drives those out of their course who set sail.
Franz Grillparzer
To test a modest man's modesty do not investigate if he ignores applause, find out if he abides criticism.
Franz Grillparzer
