Friedrich Schiller
Foster the beautiful, and every hour thou tallest new flowers to birth.
Friedrich Schiller
Full of wisdom are the ordinations of fate.
Friedrich Schiller
As freely as the firmament embraces the world, so mercy must encircle friend and foe.

Whatever is good and comes from on high is universal and without reserve: but in the heart's recesses darkness dwells.
Friedrich Schiller

Friedrich Schiller
Joy, thou spark from Heav'n immortal, Daughter of Elysium! Drunk with fire, toward Heaven advancing Goddess, to thy shrine we come. Thy sweet magic brings together What stern Custom spreads afar All men become brothers Where thy happy wing-beats are.
Friedrich Schiller

Friedrich Schiller
It is well for a man when he has learned to endure what he cannot change, and to give up with dignity what he cannot retain.
Friedrich Schiller

Friedrich Schiller
Gray hairs are death's blossoms.
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
O jealousy! thou magnifier of trifles.
Friedrich Schiller
Be true, and thou shalt fetter time with everlasting chain.
Friedrich Schiller
What is life without the radiance of love?
Friedrich Schiller
Man is made of ordinary things, and habit is his nurse.
Friedrich Schiller
This is the curse of an evil deed, that it incites and must bring forth more evil.
Friedrich Schiller
He who neglects the present moment throws away all he has.
Friedrich Schiller
