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.

Image
Who dares nothing, need hope for nothing.
Friedrich Schiller
Image
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
Image
Stubbornness is not firmness.
Friedrich Schiller
Image
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
Image
Great souls endure in silence.
Friedrich Schiller
Image
The mountain cannot frighten one who was born on it.
Friedrich Schiller

The worst of me is known, and I can say that I am better than the reputation I bear.

Image
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
Image
Intellect--brain force.
Friedrich Schiller
Image
There is a nobility in the world of manners.
Friedrich Schiller
Image
No greater grief than to remember days of gladness when sorrow is at hand.
Friedrich Schiller
Image
He, that noble prize possessing He that boasts a friend that's true, He whom woman's love is blessing, Let him join the chorus too!
Friedrich Schiller
Image
Heaven and earth fight in vain against a dunce!
Friedrich Schiller
Image
What's old collapses, times change, And new life blossoms in the ruins.
Friedrich Schiller
Image
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
Image
Speech is always bolder than action.
Friedrich Schiller
Image
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
Image
The jest loses its point when he who makes it is the first to laugh.
Friedrich Schiller
Image
Disappointments are to the soul what a thunderstorm is to the air.
Friedrich Schiller
Image
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
