More quotes by Friedrich Schiller
Art is the daughter of freedom.
Friedrich Schiller
Many a crown shines spotless now that yet was deeply sullied in the winning.
Friedrich Schiller
What else is chance but the rude stone which receives its life from the sculptor's hand? Providence gives us chance, and man must mould it to his own designs.
Friedrich Schiller
Historians are prophets with their face turned backward.
Friedrich Schiller
A merely fallen enemy may rise again, but the reconciled one is truly vanquished.
Friedrich Schiller
On the mountains there is freedom! The world is perfect everywhere, Save where man comes with his torment.
Friedrich Schiller
It is often wise to reveal that which cannot be concealed for long.
Friedrich Schiller
Art is the right hand of Nature.
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
The May of life blooms once and never again.
Friedrich Schiller
Nothing, it is true, is more common than for both Science and Art to pay homage to the spirit of the age, and for creative taste to accept the law of critical taste.
Friedrich Schiller
Man is made of ordinary things, and habit is his nurse.
Friedrich Schiller
Futurity is impregnable to mortal ken: no prayer pierces through heaven's adamantine walls. Whether the birds fly right or left, whatever be the aspect of the stars, the book of nature is a maze, dreams are a lie, and every sign a falsehood.
Friedrich Schiller
The will of man is his happiness.
Friedrich Schiller
Without a home must the soldier go, a changeful wanderer, and can warm himself at no home-lit hearth.
Friedrich Schiller
Will it, and set to work briskly.
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
If you cannot please everyone with your deeds and your art, please a few. To please many is bad.
Friedrich Schiller
The Moor has done his work, the Moor may go.
Friedrich Schiller
Spring flies, and with it all the train it leads and flowers, in fading, leave us but their seeds.
Friedrich Schiller
