More quotes by Friedrich Schiller
O God, how lovely still is life!
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
On dreary night let lusty sunshine fall.
Friedrich Schiller
Posterity weaves no garlands for imitators.
Friedrich Schiller
When the gods were more manlike, Men were more godlike.
Friedrich Schiller
Day's lustrous eyes grow heavy in sweet death.
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
Far must thy researches go Wouldst thou learn the world to know Thou must tempt the dark abyss Wouldst thou prove what Being is Naught but firmness gains the prize, Naught but fullness makes us wise, Buried deep truth e'er lies.
Friedrich Schiller
Man is made of ordinary things, and habit is his nurse.
Friedrich Schiller
Strange customs do not thrive in foreign soil.
Friedrich Schiller
Rigor pushed too far is sure to miss its aim, however good, as the bow snaps that is bent too stiffly.
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
Youth covets let not this covetousness seduce you.
Friedrich Schiller
If we do not find anything very pleasant, at least we shall find something new.
Friedrich Schiller
Who dares nothing, need hope for nothing.
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 only through the morning gate of the beautiful that you can penetrate into the realm of knowledge. That which we feel here as beauty we shall one day know as truth.
Friedrich Schiller
All things must man is the only creature that wills.
Friedrich Schiller
A pity about the people! they are brave enough comrades, but they have heads like a soapboiler's.
Friedrich Schiller
The gentlest man cannot live in peace if it does not please his wicked neighbor.
Friedrich Schiller
