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
Image
The future comes slowly, the present flies and the past stands still forever.
Friedrich Schiller
Image
In a narrow circle the mind grows narrow. The more one expands, the larger their aims.
Friedrich Schiller
Image
Man is made of ordinary things, and habit is his nurse.
