Toil of science swells the wealth of art.
Friedrich Schiller
Our safety is not in blindness, but in facing our dangers.
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In the case of a creative mind, it seems to me, the intellect has withdrawn its watchers from the gates, and the ideas rush in pell-mell and only then does it review and inspect the multitudes.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
Youth covets let not this covetousness seduce you.
Friedrich Schiller
Day's lustrous eyes grow heavy in sweet death.
Friedrich Schiller
A beautiful soul has no other merit than its own existence.
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
If you would attain to your highest, go look upon a flowerwhat the flower does willessly, that do willingly.
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
As inclination changes, thus ebbs and flows the unstable tide of public judgment.
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
There is a nobility in the world of manners.
Friedrich Schiller
I follow my heart, for I can trust it.
Friedrich Schiller
The voice of the majority is no proof of justice.
Friedrich Schiller
The will of man is his happiness.
Friedrich Schiller
Foster the beautiful, and every hour thou tallest new flowers to birth.
Friedrich Schiller
One drop of hatred left in the cup of joy turns the most blissful draught into poison.
Friedrich Schiller
What is life without the radiance of love?
Friedrich Schiller
The greater part of humanity is too much harassed and fatigued by the struggle with want, to rally itself for a new and sterner struggle with error.
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
