Speech is always bolder than action.
Friedrich Schiller
Not he who scorns the Saviour's yoke Should wear his cross upon the heart.
Friedrich Schiller
Aesthetic matters are fundamental for the harmonious development of both society and the individual.
Friedrich Schiller
No, no! I do nature injustice. She gave us inventive faculty, and set us naked, and helpless on the shore of this great ocean,--the world swim those who can, the heavy may go to the bottom.
Friedrich Schiller
The storm is master. Man, as a ball, is tossed twixt winds and billows.
Friedrich Schiller
What reason, like the careful ant, draws laboriously together, the wind of accident sometimes collects in a moment.
Friedrich Schiller
There is a nobility in the world of manners.
Friedrich Schiller
Votes should be weighed not counted.
Friedrich Schiller
Deaf rage that hears no leader.
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
An honest man you may form of windle-straws, but to make a rogue you must have grist.
Friedrich Schiller
Don't let your heart depend on things That ornament life in a fleeting way! He who possesses, let him learn to lose, He who is fortunate, let him learn pain.
Friedrich Schiller
It is easy to give advice from a port of safety.
Friedrich Schiller
The world's history is constant, like the laws of nature, and simple, like the souls of men. The same conditions continually produce the same results.
Friedrich Schiller
You have to go the rounds from individual to individual in order to gather the totality of the race.
Friedrich Schiller
Ever building, building to the clouds, still building higher, and never reflecting that the poor narrow basis cannot sustain the giddy tottering column.
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
False fancy brings real misery.
Friedrich Schiller
