More quotes by 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
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
The will of man is his happiness.
Friedrich Schiller
Gray hairs are death's blossoms.
Friedrich Schiller
He that is overcautious will accomplish little.
Friedrich Schiller
He who considers too much will perform little.
Friedrich Schiller
A virtuous name is the precious only good, for which queens and peasants' wives must contest together.
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
Man is never so authentically himself as when at play.
Friedrich Schiller
As noble Art has survived noble nature, so too she marches ahead of it, fashioning and awakening by her inspiration. Before Truth sends her triumphant light into the depths of the heart, imagination catches its rays, and the peaks of humanity will be glowing when humid night still lingers in the valleys.
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
No cause has he to say his doom is harsh, who's made the master of his destiny.
Friedrich Schiller
Yes great people are always subject to persecution and always getting into straits.
Friedrich Schiller
Freedom can occur only through education.
Friedrich Schiller
Appearance should never attain reality, And if nature conquers, then must art retire.
Friedrich Schiller
The storm is master. Man, as a ball, is tossed twixt winds and billows.
Friedrich Schiller
The man who fears nothing is as powerful as he who is feared by everybody.
Friedrich Schiller
It is difficult to discriminate the voice of truth from amid the clamor raised by heated partisans.
Friedrich Schiller
All things must man is the only creature that wills.
Friedrich Schiller
In the society, where people are just parts in a larger machine, individuals are unable to develop fully.
Friedrich Schiller
