More quotes by Friedrich Schiller
As noble Art has survived noble nature, so too she marches ahead of it, fashioning and awakening by her inspiration. Before Truth sends her triumphant light into the depths of the heart, imagination catches its rays, and the peaks of humanity will be glowing when humid night still lingers in the valleys.
Friedrich Schiller
We are too prone to find fault let us look for some of the perfections.
Friedrich Schiller
The future comes slowly, the present flies and the past stands still forever.
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
Pain is short, and joy is eternal.
Friedrich Schiller
Time flies on restless pinions - constant never.
Friedrich Schiller
When the gods were more manlike, Men were more godlike.
Friedrich Schiller
Historians are prophets with their face turned backward.
Friedrich Schiller
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
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
The Moor has done his work, the Moor may go.
Friedrich Schiller
It is not the mere station of life that stamps the value on us, but the manner in which we act our part.
Friedrich Schiller
It is easy to give advice from a port of safety.
Friedrich Schiller
I have enjoyed earthly happiness, I have lived and loved.
Friedrich Schiller
To gain a crown by fighting is great, to reject it divine.
Friedrich Schiller
Strange customs do not thrive in foreign soil.
Friedrich Schiller
It is not flesh and blood, but heart which makes us fathers and sons.
Friedrich Schiller
Weep, for the light is dead.
Friedrich Schiller
Fate always wins, for our own heart within us Imperiously furthers its designs.
Friedrich Schiller
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
