More quotes by Friedrich Schiller
On the mountains there is freedom! The world is perfect everywhere, Save where man comes with his torment.
Friedrich Schiller
Yes great people are always subject to persecution and always getting into straits.
Friedrich Schiller
Man is an imitative creature.
Friedrich Schiller
Joy is the mainspring in the whole Of endless Nature's calm rotation. Joy moves the dazzling wheels that roll In the great Time-piece of Creation.
Friedrich Schiller
It is often wise to reveal that which cannot be concealed for long.
Friedrich Schiller
A gloomy guest fits not a wedding feast.
Friedrich Schiller
The jest loses its point when he who makes it is the first to laugh.
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
Forgiveness is the finding again of a lost possession.
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
Nothing, it is true, is more common than for both Science and Art to pay homage to the spirit of the age, and for creative taste to accept the law of critical taste.
Friedrich Schiller
Accursed be he who plays with the devil.
Friedrich Schiller
Whatever is not forbidden is permitted.
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
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
In a narrow circle the mind contracts. Man grows with his expanded needs.
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
You saw his weakness, and he will never forgive you.
Friedrich Schiller
What else is chance but the rude stone which receives its life from the sculptor's hand? Providence gives us chance, and man must mould it to his own designs.
Friedrich Schiller
Be noble minded! Our own heart, and not other men's opinions of us, forms our true honor.
Friedrich Schiller
