Friedrich Schiller
I feel that I am a man of destiny.
Friedrich Schiller

Friedrich Schiller
Spring flies, and with it all the train it leads and flowers, in fading, leave us but their seeds.
Friedrich Schiller
Where there is much freedom there is much error.
Friedrich Schiller
A healthy nature needs no God or immortality
