More quotes by Friedrich Schiller
Speech is always bolder than action.
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
I have enjoyed earthly happiness, I have lived and loved.
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
Against stupidity the very gods themselves contend in vain.
Friedrich Schiller
Without a home must the soldier go, a changeful wanderer, and can warm himself at no home-lit hearth.
Friedrich Schiller
Even weak men when united are powerful.
Friedrich Schiller
Like a dart the present glances, Silent stands the past sublime.
Friedrich Schiller
We must bear what Heaven sends.
Friedrich Schiller
