More quotes by Friedrich Schiller
Man is made of the wholly common, and custom is his nurse woe then to them who lay irreverent hands on his old house-furniture, the dear inheritance from his forefathers: For time consecrates, and what is gray with age becomes religion.
Friedrich Schiller
Only the soldier is a free man, because he can look death in the face.
Friedrich Schiller
As inclination changes, thus ebbs and flows the unstable tide of public judgment.
Friedrich Schiller
Dare to err and to dream. Deep meaning often lies in childish plays.
Friedrich Schiller
It is criminal to steal a purse, daring to steal a fortune, a mark of greatness to steal a crown. The blame diminishes as the guilt increases.
Friedrich Schiller
An honest man you may form of windle-straws, but to make a rogue you must have grist.
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
Man is never so authentically himself as when at play.
Friedrich Schiller
The storm is master. Man, as a ball, is tossed twixt winds and billows.
Friedrich Schiller
Art is difficult, transient is her reward.
Friedrich Schiller
I feel an army in my fist.
Friedrich Schiller
Eternity gives nothing back of what one leaves out of the minutes.
Friedrich Schiller
There is a nobility in the world of manners.
Friedrich Schiller
Far must thy researches go Wouldst thou learn the world to know Thou must tempt the dark abyss Wouldst thou prove what Being is Naught but firmness gains the prize, Naught but fullness makes us wise, Buried deep truth e'er lies.
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
Time consecrates and what is gray with age becomes religion.
Friedrich Schiller
Every great mind seeks to labor for eternity. All men are captivated by immediate advantages great minds alone are excited by the prospect of distant good.
Friedrich Schiller
It is not the mere station of life that stamps the value on us, but the manner in which we act our part.
Friedrich Schiller
I have enjoyed the happiness of the world I have loved.
Friedrich Schiller
Sorrows must die with the joys they outnumber.
Friedrich Schiller
