More quotes by Friedrich Schiller
I have enjoyed earthly happiness, I have lived and loved.
Friedrich Schiller
No, no! I do nature injustice. She gave us inventive faculty, and set us naked, and helpless on the shore of this great ocean,--the world swim those who can, the heavy may go to the bottom.
Friedrich Schiller
Yet have I ever heard it said that spies and tale-bearers have done more mischief in this world than poisoned bowl or the assassin's dagger.
Friedrich Schiller
Cling to thy native land, for it is the land of thy fathers?
Friedrich Schiller
Man is an imitative creature.
Friedrich Schiller
He cannot complain of a hard sentence, who is made master of his own fate.
Friedrich Schiller
The happy man does not notice the flight of time.
Friedrich Schiller
In a narrow circle the mind contracts. Man grows with his expanded needs.
Friedrich Schiller
Every great mind seeks to labor for eternity. All men are captivated by immediate advantages great minds alone are excited by the prospect of distant good.
Friedrich Schiller
If you would attain to your highest, go look upon a flowerwhat the flower does willessly, that do willingly.
Friedrich Schiller
As soon as I have begun to fear I have ceased to fear.
Friedrich Schiller
Grace is the beauty of form under the influence of freedom.
Friedrich Schiller
The world's history is the world's judgment.
Friedrich Schiller
Song forbids victorious deeds to die.
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
Weep, for the light is dead.
Friedrich Schiller
Not he who scorns the Saviour's yoke Should wear his cross upon the heart.
Friedrich Schiller
He that is overcautious will accomplish little.
Friedrich Schiller
Only through Beauty's morning-gate, dost thou penetrate the land of knowledge.
Friedrich Schiller
To live is to dream, and to dream pleasantly is to be wise.
Friedrich Schiller
