Friedrich Schiller
Posterity weaves no garlands for imitators.
Friedrich Schiller
Spring flies, and with it all the train it leads and flowers, in fading, leave us but their seeds.

Aesthetic matters are fundamental for the harmonious development of both society and the individual.
Friedrich Schiller
Historians are prophets with their face turned backward.
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
Have Faith. Where'er thy bark is driven, - The calm's disport, the tempest's mirth, - Know this: God rules the hosts of heaven, The habitants of earth.
Friedrich Schiller
I am called The richest monarch in the Christian world The sun in my dominion never sets.
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
Far must thy researches go Wouldst thou learn the world to know Thou must tempt the dark abyss Wouldst thou prove what Being is Naught but firmness gains the prize, Naught but fullness makes us wise, Buried deep truth e'er lies.
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
The hat is the pride of man for he who cannot keep his hat on before kings and emperors is no free man.
Friedrich Schiller
For the world is only governed by self-interest.
Friedrich Schiller
Heaven and earth fight in vain against a dunce!
Friedrich Schiller
Cowards have done good and kind actions, but a coward never pardoned.
Friedrich Schiller
Like a dart the present glances, Silent stands the past sublime.
Friedrich Schiller
It is easy to give advice from a port of safety.
Friedrich Schiller
As soon as I have begun to fear I have ceased to fear.
Friedrich Schiller
