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
It may here be justly said, that genuine morality is preserved only in the school of adversity, and a state of continuous prosperity may easily prove a quicksand to virtue.
Friedrich Schiller
O God, how lovely still is life!
Friedrich Schiller
Friends show me what I can do, foes teach me what I should do.
Friedrich Schiller
Mankind is made great or little by its own will.
Friedrich Schiller
Wouldst thou know thyself, observe the actions of others. Wouldst thou other men know, look thou within thine own heart.
Friedrich Schiller
Cling to thy native land, for it is the land of thy fathers?
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
There is a nobility in the world of manners.
Friedrich Schiller
Intellect--brain force.
Friedrich Schiller
I have enjoyed the happiness of the world I have loved.
Friedrich Schiller
O that it might remain eternally green, The beautiful time of youthful love.
Friedrich Schiller
It does not prove a thing to be right because the majority say it is so.
Friedrich Schiller
Obedience is the Christian's crown.
Friedrich Schiller
He who has done his best for his own time has lived for all times.
Friedrich Schiller
Day's lustrous eyes grow heavy in sweet death.
Friedrich Schiller
Foster the beautiful, and every hour thou tallest new flowers to birth.
Friedrich Schiller
Love is only known by him who hopelessly persists in love.
Friedrich Schiller
Rigor pushed too far is sure to miss its aim, however good, as the bow snaps that is bent too stiffly.
Friedrich Schiller
As noble Art has survived noble nature, so too she marches ahead of it, fashioning and awakening by her inspiration. Before Truth sends her triumphant light into the depths of the heart, imagination catches its rays, and the peaks of humanity will be glowing when humid night still lingers in the valleys.
Friedrich Schiller
