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
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
Individual character is in the right that is in strict consistence with itself. Self-contradiction is the only wrong.
Friedrich Schiller

What's old collapses, times change, And new life blossoms in the ruins.
Friedrich Schiller
Secrecy is for the happy,--misery, hopeless misery, needs no veil under a thousand suns it dares act openly.
Friedrich Schiller
I have enjoyed the happiness of the world I have loved.
Friedrich Schiller
Joy, in Nature's wide dominion, Mightiest cause of all is found And 'tis joy that moves the pinion When the wheel of time goes round.
Friedrich Schiller
Great souls suffer in silence.
Friedrich Schiller
There is more to life than just existing and having a pleasant time.
Friedrich Schiller
