Friedrich Schiller
It is play and only play that makes man complete.
Friedrich Schiller
Cowards have done good and kind actions, but a coward never pardoned.

Friedrich Schiller
As soon as I have begun to fear I have ceased to fear.
Friedrich Schiller

Friedrich Schiller
O jealousy! thou magnifier of trifles.
Friedrich Schiller
A noble soul spreads even over a face in which the architectonic beauty is wanting an irresistible grace, and a often even triumphs over the natural disfavor.
