Friedrich Schiller
To the fool-king belongs the world.
Friedrich Schiller
In a narrow circle the mind contracts. Man grows with his expanded needs.

Friedrich Schiller
Freedom can occur only through education.
Friedrich Schiller
The key to education is the experience of beauty.
Friedrich Schiller
Alas! When duty grows thy law, enjoyment fades away.
Friedrich Schiller
If you have never seen beauty in a moment of suffering, you have never seen beauty at all. If you have never seen joy in a beautiful face, you have never seen joy at all.
Friedrich Schiller
As freely as the firmament embraces the world, so mercy must encircle friend and foe. The sun poursforth impartially his beams through all the regions of infinity heaven bestows the dew equally on every thirsty plant. Whatever is good and comes from on high is universal and without reserve: but in the heart's recesses darkness dwells.
Friedrich Schiller
Grace is the beauty of form under the influence of freedom.
Friedrich Schiller
You saw his weakness, and he will never forgive you.
Friedrich Schiller
Modest humility is beauty's crown.
Friedrich Schiller
There is a nobility in the world of manners.
Friedrich Schiller
What else is chance but the rude stone which receives its life from the sculptor's hand? Providence gives us chance, and man must mould it to his own designs.
Friedrich Schiller
Whatever lives, lives to die in sorrow. We engage our hearts, and grasp after the things of this world, only to undergo the pang of losing them.
Friedrich Schiller
It is criminal to steal a purse, daring to steal a fortune, a mark of greatness to steal a crown. The blame diminishes as the guilt increases.
Friedrich Schiller
The happy man does not notice the flight of time.
Friedrich Schiller
He, that noble prize possessing He that boasts a friend that's true, He whom woman's love is blessing, Let him join the chorus too!
Friedrich Schiller
His saying was: live and let live.
Friedrich Schiller
