More quotes by Friedrich Schiller
Dare to err and to dream. Deep meaning often lies in childish plays.
Friedrich Schiller
There are evil spirits who suddenly fix their abode in man's unguarded breast, causing us to commit devilish deeds, and then, hurrying back to their native hell, leave behind the stings of remorse in the poisoned bosom.
Friedrich Schiller
Never the grave gives back what it has won!
Friedrich Schiller
Spring flies, and with it all the train it leads and flowers, in fading, leave us but their seeds.
Friedrich Schiller
It is play and only play that makes man complete.
Friedrich Schiller
Truth lives on in the midst of deception.
Friedrich Schiller
Modest humility is beauty's crown.
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
On dreary night let lusty sunshine fall.
Friedrich Schiller
I am called The richest monarch in the Christian world The sun in my dominion never sets.
Friedrich Schiller
Rigor pushed too far is sure to miss its aim, however good, as the bow snaps that is bent too stiffly.
Friedrich Schiller
Pain is short, and joy is eternal.
Friedrich Schiller
Only through Beauty's morning-gate, dost thou penetrate the land of knowledge.
Friedrich Schiller
Only the soldier is a free man, because he can look death in the face.
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
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
Don't let your heart depend on things That ornament life in a fleeting way! He who possesses, let him learn to lose, He who is fortunate, let him learn pain.
Friedrich Schiller
Seraphs share with thee Knowledge but Art, O Man, is thine alone!
Friedrich Schiller
No cause has he to say his doom is harsh, who's made the master of his destiny.
Friedrich Schiller
Art is the right hand of Nature.
Friedrich Schiller
