More quotes by Friedrich Schiller
Seraphs share with thee Knowledge but Art, O Man, is thine alone!
Friedrich Schiller
The gentlest man cannot live in peace if it does not please his wicked neighbor.
Friedrich Schiller
Joy, thou spark from Heav'n immortal, Daughter of Elysium! Drunk with fire, toward Heaven advancing Goddess, to thy shrine we come. Thy sweet magic brings together What stern Custom spreads afar All men become brothers Where thy happy wing-beats are.
Friedrich Schiller
The happy man does not notice the flight of time.
Friedrich Schiller
Never the grave gives back what it has won!
Friedrich Schiller
I am better than my reputation
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
Deaf rage that hears no leader.
Friedrich Schiller
The lemonade is weak, like your soul.
Friedrich Schiller
Pain is short, and joy is eternal.
Friedrich Schiller
If you have never seen beauty in a moment of suffering, you have never seen beauty at all. If you have never seen joy in a beautiful face, you have never seen joy at all.
Friedrich Schiller
Man is an imitative creature.
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
O who knows what slumbers in the background of the times?
Friedrich Schiller
When you are not happy with your life, always think that someone is happy simply because you exist
Friedrich Schiller
There are evil spirits who suddenly fix their abode in man's unguarded breast, causing us to commit devilish deeds, and then, hurrying back to their native hell, leave behind the stings of remorse in the poisoned bosom.
Friedrich Schiller
Love can sun the realms of night.
Friedrich Schiller
Great souls endure in silence.
Friedrich Schiller
What's old collapses, times change, And new life blossoms in the ruins.
Friedrich Schiller
All things must man is the only creature that wills.
Friedrich Schiller
