More quotes by Friedrich Schiller
Joy, thou spark from Heav'n immortal, Daughter of Elysium! Drunk with fire, toward Heaven advancing Goddess, to thy shrine we come. Thy sweet magic brings together What stern Custom spreads afar All men become brothers Where thy happy wing-beats are.
Friedrich Schiller

Friedrich Schiller
Secrecy is for the happy,--misery, hopeless misery, needs no veil under a thousand suns it dares act openly.
Friedrich Schiller

Friedrich Schiller
I am better than my reputation
Friedrich Schiller
It may here be justly said, that genuine morality is preserved only in the school of adversity, and a state of continuous prosperity may easily prove a quicksand to virtue.
Friedrich Schiller
