More quotes by Friedrich Schiller
Arrow-swift the present sweepeth, and motionless forever stands the past.
Friedrich Schiller
It may here be justly said, that genuine morality is preserved only in the school of adversity, and a state of continuous prosperity may easily prove a quicksand to virtue.
Friedrich Schiller
A brave man hazards life, but not his conscience.
Friedrich Schiller
If you cannot please everyone with your deeds and your art, please a few. To please many is bad.
Friedrich Schiller
Man is made of the wholly common, and custom is his nurse woe then to them who lay irreverent hands on his old house-furniture, the dear inheritance from his forefathers: For time consecrates, and what is gray with age becomes religion.
Friedrich Schiller
We are too prone to find fault let us look for some of the perfections.
Friedrich Schiller
Art is the right hand of Nature.
Friedrich Schiller
Nothing leads to good that is not natural.
Friedrich Schiller
The gentlest man cannot live in peace if it does not please his wicked neighbor.
Friedrich Schiller

Friedrich Schiller
The lemonade is weak, like your soul.
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
The world's history is constant, like the laws of nature, and simple, like the souls of men. The same conditions continually produce the same results.
Friedrich Schiller
O God, how lovely still is life!
Friedrich Schiller
Keep true to the dreams of your youth.
Friedrich Schiller
O who knows what slumbers in the background of the times?
Friedrich Schiller
