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
Pain is short, and joy is eternal.
Friedrich Schiller
Virtue, though clothed in a beggar's garb, commands respect.
Friedrich Schiller
Disappointments are to the soul what a thunderstorm is to the air.
Friedrich Schiller
You have to go the rounds from individual to individual in order to gather the totality of the race.
Friedrich Schiller
Sentimental poetry differs from naive poetry in that it relates the real state at which the latter stops to ideas and applies ideas to that reality.
Friedrich Schiller
Revenge is barren of itself: it is the dreadful food it feeds on its delight is murder, and its end is despair.
Friedrich Schiller
Keep true to the dreams of your youth.
Friedrich Schiller
It is difficult to discriminate the voice of truth from amid the clamor raised by heated partisans.
Friedrich Schiller
One drop of hatred left in the cup of joy turns the most blissful draught into poison.
Friedrich Schiller
He who considers too much will perform little.
Friedrich Schiller
Seraphs share with thee Knowledge but Art, O Man, is thine alone!
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
Mankind is made great or little by its own will.
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
A merely fallen enemy may rise again, but the reconciled one is truly vanquished.
Friedrich Schiller
The worst of me is known, and I can say that I am better than the reputation I bear.
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
In a narrow circle the mind contracts. Man grows with his expanded needs.
Friedrich Schiller
To live is to dream, and to dream pleasantly is to be wise.
Friedrich Schiller
