More quotes by Friedrich Schiller
I feel an army in my fist.
Friedrich Schiller
Uncommon men require no common trust give him but scope and he will set the bounds.
Friedrich Schiller
Man is never so authentically himself as when at play.
Friedrich Schiller
Freedom exists only with power.
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
Love is only known by him who hopelessly persists in love.
Friedrich Schiller
The painter is, as to the execution of his work, a mechanic but as to his conception and spirit and design he is hardly below even the poet.
Friedrich Schiller
Innocence has a friend in heaven.
Friedrich Schiller
Man only plays when in the full meaning of the word he is a man, and he is only completely a man when he plays.
Friedrich Schiller
It is often wise to reveal that which cannot be concealed for long.
Friedrich Schiller
Day's lustrous eyes grow heavy in sweet death.
Friedrich Schiller
Thus Arm in Arm with thee I dare defy my century into the lists.
Friedrich Schiller
What else is chance but the rude stone which receives its life from the sculptor's hand? Providence gives us chance, and man must mould it to his own designs.
Friedrich Schiller
Even weak men when united are powerful.
Friedrich Schiller
The worst of me is known, and I can say that I am better than the reputation I bear.
Friedrich Schiller
In the case of a creative mind, it seems to me, the intellect has withdrawn its watchers from the gates, and the ideas rush in pell-mell and only then does it review and inspect the multitudes.
Friedrich Schiller
Love can sun the realms of night.
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
Joy all creatures drink At nature's bosoms.
Friedrich Schiller
Strange customs do not thrive in foreign soil.
Friedrich Schiller
