More quotes by Friedrich Schiller
He who has done his best for his own time has lived for all times.
Friedrich Schiller
I have enjoyed the happiness of the world I have loved.
Friedrich Schiller
Not he who scorns the Saviour's yoke Should wear his cross upon the heart.
Friedrich Schiller
Man only plays when in the full meaning of the word he is a man, and he is only completely a man when he plays.
Friedrich Schiller
It may here be justly said, that genuine morality is preserved only in the school of adversity, and a state of continuous prosperity may easily prove a quicksand to virtue.
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
O'er Ocean, with a thousand masts, sails forth the stripling bold- One boat, hard rescued from the deep, draws into port the old!
Friedrich Schiller
Futurity is impregnable to mortal ken: no prayer pierces through heaven's adamantine walls. Whether the birds fly right or left, whatever be the aspect of the stars, the book of nature is a maze, dreams are a lie, and every sign a falsehood.
Friedrich Schiller
A beautiful soul has no other merit than its own existence.
Friedrich Schiller
To save all we must risk all.
Friedrich Schiller
Appearance should never attain reality, And if nature conquers, then must art retire.
Friedrich Schiller
O that it might remain eternally green, The beautiful time of youthful love.
Friedrich Schiller
Utility is the great idol of the age, to which all powers must do service and all talents swear allegiance. In this great balance of utility, the spiritual service of art has no weight, and, deprived of all encouragement, it vanishes from the noisy Vanity Fair of our time.
Friedrich Schiller
All things must man is the only creature that wills.
Friedrich Schiller
Great souls suffer in silence.
Friedrich Schiller
Fate always wins, for our own heart within us Imperiously furthers its designs.
Friedrich Schiller
Every man stamps his value on himself... man is made great or small by his own will.
Friedrich Schiller
Toil of science swells the wealth of art.
Friedrich Schiller
Like a dart the present glances, Silent stands the past sublime.
Friedrich Schiller
As noble Art has survived noble nature, so too she marches ahead of it, fashioning and awakening by her inspiration. Before Truth sends her triumphant light into the depths of the heart, imagination catches its rays, and the peaks of humanity will be glowing when humid night still lingers in the valleys.
Friedrich Schiller
