More quotes by Friedrich Schiller
No, no! I do nature injustice. She gave us inventive faculty, and set us naked, and helpless on the shore of this great ocean,--the world swim those who can, the heavy may go to the bottom.
Friedrich Schiller
Disappointments are to the soul what a thunderstorm is to the air.
Friedrich Schiller
Dare to err and to dream. Deep meaning often lies in childish plays.
Friedrich Schiller
A noble heart will always capitulate to reason.
Friedrich Schiller
I feel that I am a man of destiny.
Friedrich Schiller
To save all we must risk all.
Friedrich Schiller
Time consecrates and what is gray with age becomes religion.
Friedrich Schiller
In a narrow circle the mind grows narrow. The more one expands, the larger their aims.
Friedrich Schiller
That which is so universal as death must be a benefit.
Friedrich Schiller
Without a home must the soldier go, a changeful wanderer, and can warm himself at no home-lit hearth.
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
You have to go the rounds from individual to individual in order to gather the totality of the race.
Friedrich Schiller
Stubbornness is not firmness.
Friedrich Schiller
In a narrow circle the mind contracts. Man grows with his expanded needs.
Friedrich Schiller
The world's history is the world's judgment.
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 lamp of genius burns quicker than the lamp of life.
Friedrich Schiller
A brave man hazards life, but not his conscience.
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
Not he who scorns the Saviour's yoke Should wear his cross upon the heart.
Friedrich Schiller
