More quotes by Friedrich Schiller
In a narrow circle the mind grows narrow. The more one expands, the larger their aims.
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
Dare to be wrong and to dream.
Friedrich Schiller
Like a dart the present glances, Silent stands the past sublime.
Friedrich Schiller
Stubbornness is not firmness.
Friedrich Schiller
The happy man does not notice the flight of time.
Friedrich Schiller
It is not flesh and blood, but heart which makes us fathers and sons.
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
Even the weak become strong when they are united.
Friedrich Schiller
In the case of a creative mind, it seems to me, the intellect has withdrawn its watchers from the gates, and the ideas rush in pell-mell and only then does it review and inspect the multitudes.
Friedrich Schiller
It does not prove a thing to be right because the majority say it is so.
Friedrich Schiller
Historians are prophets with their face turned backward.
Friedrich Schiller
Virtue, though clothed in a beggar's garb, commands respect.
Friedrich Schiller
Great souls suffer in silence.
Friedrich Schiller
Sorrows must die with the joys they outnumber.
Friedrich Schiller
The jest loses its point when he who makes it is the first to laugh.
Friedrich Schiller
When the gods were more manlike, Men were more godlike.
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
A pity about the people! they are brave enough comrades, but they have heads like a soapboiler's.
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
