More quotes by Friedrich Schiller

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

Friedrich Schiller

Friedrich Schiller
Have Faith. Where'er thy bark is driven, - The calm's disport, the tempest's mirth, - Know this: God rules the hosts of heaven, The habitants of earth.
Friedrich Schiller

Friedrich Schiller
I feel an army in my fist.
Friedrich Schiller
Whatever is not forbidden is permitted.
Friedrich Schiller
For the world is only governed by self-interest.
Friedrich Schiller
Obedience is the Christian's crown.
Friedrich Schiller
Like a dart the present glances, Silent stands the past sublime.
Friedrich Schiller
I follow my heart, for I can trust it.
Friedrich Schiller
You saw his weakness, and he will never forgive you.
Friedrich Schiller
As freely as the firmament embraces the world, so mercy must encircle friend and foe. The sun poursforth impartially his beams through all the regions of infinity heaven bestows the dew equally on every thirsty plant. Whatever is good and comes from on high is universal and without reserve: but in the heart's recesses darkness dwells.
Friedrich Schiller
Dare to err and to dream. Deep meaning often lies in childish plays.
Friedrich Schiller
Weep, for the light is dead.
Friedrich Schiller
