More quotes by Friedrich Schiller
False fancy brings real misery.
Friedrich Schiller
Foster the beautiful, and every hour thou tallest new flowers to birth.
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
Let him that sows the serpent's teeth not hope to reap a joyous harvest. Every crime has, in the moment of its perpetration, its own avenging angel,--dark misgivings at the inmost heart.
Friedrich Schiller
He who neglects the present moment throws away all he has.
Friedrich Schiller
Deeper meaning resides in the fairy tales told to me in my childhood than in the truth that is taught by life.
Friedrich Schiller
He who has done his best for his own time has lived for all times.
Friedrich Schiller
An axe at home saves hiring a carpenter.
Friedrich Schiller
If you cannot please everyone with your deeds and your art, please a few. To please many is bad.
Friedrich Schiller
I am better than my reputation
Friedrich Schiller
Freedom exists only with power.
Friedrich Schiller
Individual character is in the right that is in strict consistence with itself. Self-contradiction is the only wrong.
Friedrich Schiller
The lemonade is weak, like your soul.
Friedrich Schiller
Utility is the great idol of the age, to which all powers must do service and all talents swear allegiance. In this great balance of utility, the spiritual service of art has no weight, and, deprived of all encouragement, it vanishes from the noisy Vanity Fair of our time.
Friedrich Schiller
It is through beauty that we arrive at freedom.
Friedrich Schiller
O who knows what slumbers in the background of the times?
Friedrich Schiller
Time consecrates and what is gray with age becomes religion.
Friedrich Schiller
A pity about the people! they are brave enough comrades, but they have heads like a soapboiler's.
Friedrich Schiller
You saw his weakness, and he will never forgive you.
Friedrich Schiller
I feel an army in my fist.
Friedrich Schiller
