More quotes by Friedrich Schiller
Be true, and thou shalt fetter time with everlasting chain.
Friedrich Schiller
To live is to dream, and to dream pleasantly is to be wise.
Friedrich Schiller
The strong man is strongest when alone.
Friedrich Schiller
Man is an imitative creature.
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
Whatever lives, lives to die in sorrow. We engage our hearts, and grasp after the things of this world, only to undergo the pang of losing them.
Friedrich Schiller
A brave man hazards life, but not his conscience.
Friedrich Schiller
He who considers too much will perform little.
Friedrich Schiller
A merely fallen enemy may rise again, but the reconciled one is truly vanquished.
Friedrich Schiller
Friends show me what I can do, foes teach me what I should do.
Friedrich Schiller
Lose not yourself in a far off time, seize the moment that is thine.
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
In the case of a creative mind, it seems to me, the intellect has withdrawn its watchers from the gates, and the ideas rush in pell-mell and only then does it review and inspect the multitudes.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
O that it might remain eternally green, The beautiful time of youthful love.
Friedrich Schiller
Grace is the beauty of form under the influence of freedom.
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
Weep, for the light is dead.
Friedrich Schiller
Never the grave gives back what it has won!
Friedrich Schiller
Truth lives on in the midst of deception.
Friedrich Schiller
Who dares nothing, need hope for nothing.
Friedrich Schiller
