Friedrich Schiller

Friedrich Schiller
He who has done his best for his own time has lived for all times.
Friedrich Schiller
Many a crown shines spotless now that yet was deeply sullied in the winning.
Friedrich Schiller
Not he who scorns the Saviour's yoke Should wear his cross upon the heart.
Friedrich Schiller

If we do not find anything very pleasant, at least we shall find something new.
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
