More quotes by Friedrich Schiller
The Moor has done his work, the Moor may go.
Friedrich Schiller
No doubt the artist is the child of his time but woe to him if he is also its disciple, or even its favorite.
Friedrich Schiller
Will it, and set to work briskly.
Friedrich Schiller
Soon is the struggle past, and to the earth, To the eternal sun, I render back These atoms, joined in me for pain and pleasure.
Friedrich Schiller
Day's lustrous eyes grow heavy in sweet death.
Friedrich Schiller
It is criminal to steal a purse, daring to steal a fortune, a mark of greatness to steal a crown. The blame diminishes as the guilt increases.
Friedrich Schiller
Be noble minded! Our own heart, and not other men's opinions of us, forms our true honor.
Friedrich Schiller
Let him that sows the serpent's teeth not hope to reap a joyous harvest. Every crime has, in the moment of its perpetration, its own avenging angel,--dark misgivings at the inmost heart.
Friedrich Schiller
Man is an imitative creature.
Friedrich Schiller
O'er Ocean, with a thousand masts, sails forth the stripling bold- One boat, hard rescued from the deep, draws into port the old!
Friedrich Schiller
Keep true to the dreams of your youth.
Friedrich Schiller
Pain is short, and joy is eternal.
Friedrich Schiller
Ever building, building to the clouds, still building higher, and never reflecting that the poor narrow basis cannot sustain the giddy tottering column.
Friedrich Schiller
Not without a shudder may the human hand reach into the mysterious urn of destiny.
Friedrich Schiller
Spring flies, and with it all the train it leads and flowers, in fading, leave us but their seeds.
Friedrich Schiller
Futurity is impregnable to mortal ken: no prayer pierces through heaven's adamantine walls. Whether the birds fly right or left, whatever be the aspect of the stars, the book of nature is a maze, dreams are a lie, and every sign a falsehood.
Friedrich Schiller
Dare to err and to dream. Deep meaning often lies in childish plays.
Friedrich Schiller
Time consecrates and what is gray with age becomes religion.
Friedrich Schiller
The jest loses its point when he who makes it is the first to laugh.
Friedrich Schiller
Cling to thy native land, for it is the land of thy fathers?
Friedrich Schiller
