More quotes by Friedrich Schiller
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
To gain a crown by fighting is great, to reject it divine.
Friedrich Schiller
A beautiful soul has no other merit than its own existence.
Friedrich Schiller
It does not prove a thing to be right because the majority say it is so.
Friedrich Schiller
The May of life blooms once and never again.
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
Who dares nothing, need hope for nothing.
Friedrich Schiller
Man is made of the wholly common, and custom is his nurse woe then to them who lay irreverent hands on his old house-furniture, the dear inheritance from his forefathers: For time consecrates, and what is gray with age becomes religion.
Friedrich Schiller
Like a dart the present glances, Silent stands the past sublime.
Friedrich Schiller
Posterity weaves no garlands for imitators.
Friedrich Schiller
False fancy brings real misery.
Friedrich Schiller
If you cannot please everyone with your deeds and your art, please a few. To please many is bad.
Friedrich Schiller
Innocence has a friend in heaven.
Friedrich Schiller
The lemonade is weak, like your soul.
Friedrich Schiller
Virtue, though clothed in a beggar's garb, commands respect.
Friedrich Schiller
The worst of me is known, and I can say that I am better than the reputation I bear.
Friedrich Schiller
When the gods were more manlike, Men were more godlike.
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
The hat is the pride of man for he who cannot keep his hat on before kings and emperors is no free man.
Friedrich Schiller
As soon as I have begun to fear I have ceased to fear.
Friedrich Schiller
