Friedrich Schiller
Be noble minded! Our own heart, and not other men's opinions of us, forms our true honor.

Seraphs share with thee Knowledge but Art, O Man, is thine alone!
Friedrich Schiller

Friedrich Schiller
Dare to err and to dream. Deep meaning often lies in childish plays.
Friedrich Schiller

Friedrich Schiller
To know thyself--in others self-concern Would'st thou know others? read thyself--and learn!
Friedrich Schiller
The game of life looks cheerful when one carries a treasure safe in his heart.
Friedrich Schiller
Mankind is made great or little by its own will.
Friedrich Schiller
Man is made of the wholly common, and custom is his nurse woe then to them who lay irreverent hands on his old house-furniture, the dear inheritance from his forefathers: For time consecrates, and what is gray with age becomes religion.
Friedrich Schiller
