More quotes by Friedrich Schiller
The happy man does not notice the flight of time.
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
The lemonade is weak, like your soul.
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
It is play and only play that makes man complete.
Friedrich Schiller
I follow my heart, for I can trust it.
Friedrich Schiller
Day's lustrous eyes grow heavy in sweet death.
Friedrich Schiller
Only through Beauty's morning-gate, dost thou penetrate the land of knowledge.
Friedrich Schiller
Friends show me what I can do, foes teach me what I should do.
Friedrich Schiller
Mankind is made great or little by its own will.
Friedrich Schiller
Arrow-swift the present sweepeth, and motionless forever stands the past.
Friedrich Schiller
Soon is the struggle past, and to the earth, To the eternal sun, I render back These atoms, joined in me for pain and pleasure.
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
Let him that sows the serpent's teeth not hope to reap a joyous harvest. Every crime has, in the moment of its perpetration, its own avenging angel,--dark misgivings at the inmost heart.
Friedrich Schiller
There are evil spirits who suddenly fix their abode in man's unguarded breast, causing us to commit devilish deeds, and then, hurrying back to their native hell, leave behind the stings of remorse in the poisoned bosom.
Friedrich Schiller
Art is the daughter of freedom.
Friedrich Schiller
The jest loses its point when he who makes it is the first to laugh.
Friedrich Schiller
False fancy brings real misery.
Friedrich Schiller
Nothing leads to good that is not natural.
Friedrich Schiller
One can give advice comfortably from a safe port.
Friedrich Schiller
