Friedrich Schiller
The key to education is the experience of beauty.
Friedrich Schiller
That which is so universal as death must be a benefit.

If you have never seen beauty in a moment of suffering, you have never seen beauty at all. If you have never seen joy in a beautiful face, you have never seen joy at all.
Friedrich Schiller
Deaf rage that hears no leader.
Friedrich Schiller
Ever building, building to the clouds, still building higher, and never reflecting that the poor narrow basis cannot sustain the giddy tottering column.
Friedrich Schiller
