Friedrich Schiller

Friedrich Schiller
A gloomy guest fits not a wedding feast.
Friedrich Schiller
An axe at home saves hiring a carpenter.
Friedrich Schiller
It is difficult to discriminate the voice of truth from amid the clamor raised by heated partisans.
Friedrich Schiller
A pity about the people! they are brave enough comrades, but they have heads like a soapboiler's.
Friedrich Schiller
