More quotes by Friedrich Schiller
The painter is, as to the execution of his work, a mechanic but as to his conception and spirit and design he is hardly below even the poet.
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
Utility is the great idol of the age, to which all powers must do service and all talents swear allegiance. In this great balance of utility, the spiritual service of art has no weight, and, deprived of all encouragement, it vanishes from the noisy Vanity Fair of our time.
Friedrich Schiller
Truth lives on in the midst of deception.
Friedrich Schiller
Toil of science swells the wealth of art.
Friedrich Schiller
Alas! When duty grows thy law, enjoyment fades away.
Friedrich Schiller
Arrow-swift the present sweepeth, and motionless forever stands the past.
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
Have Faith. Where'er thy bark is driven, - The calm's disport, the tempest's mirth, - Know this: God rules the hosts of heaven, The habitants of earth.
Friedrich Schiller
As soon as I have begun to fear I have ceased to fear.
Friedrich Schiller
False fancy brings real misery.
Friedrich Schiller
If you have never seen beauty in a moment of suffering, you have never seen beauty at all. If you have never seen joy in a beautiful face, you have never seen joy at all.
Friedrich Schiller
Man is never so authentically himself as when at play.
Friedrich Schiller
Emulation is a noble and just passion, full of appreciation.
Friedrich Schiller
Pain is short, and joy is eternal.
Friedrich Schiller
Nothing leads to good that is not natural.
Friedrich Schiller
To know thyself--in others self-concern Would'st thou know others? read thyself--and learn!
Friedrich Schiller
Stubbornness is not firmness.
Friedrich Schiller
I am better than my reputation
Friedrich Schiller
The gentlest man cannot live in peace if it does not please his wicked neighbor.
Friedrich Schiller
