More quotes by 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
A noble heart will always capitulate to reason.
Friedrich Schiller
Our safety is not in blindness, but in facing our dangers.
Friedrich Schiller
Gray hairs are death's blossoms.
Friedrich Schiller
No, no! I do nature injustice. She gave us inventive faculty, and set us naked, and helpless on the shore of this great ocean,--the world swim those who can, the heavy may go to the bottom.
Friedrich Schiller
Far must thy researches go Wouldst thou learn the world to know Thou must tempt the dark abyss Wouldst thou prove what Being is Naught but firmness gains the prize, Naught but fullness makes us wise, Buried deep truth e'er lies.
Friedrich Schiller
Art is the daughter of freedom.
Friedrich Schiller
What reason, like the careful ant, draws laboriously together, the wind of accident sometimes collects in a moment.
Friedrich Schiller
To know thyself--in others self-concern Would'st thou know others? read thyself--and learn!
Friedrich Schiller
An honest man you may form of windle-straws, but to make a rogue you must have grist.
Friedrich Schiller
Against stupidity the very gods themselves contend in vain.
Friedrich Schiller
Joy all creatures drink At nature's bosoms.
Friedrich Schiller
Be noble minded! Our own heart, and not other men's opinions of us, forms our true honor.
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
A pity about the people! they are brave enough comrades, but they have heads like a soapboiler's.
Friedrich Schiller
I feel an army in my fist.
Friedrich Schiller
Man only plays when in the full meaning of the word he is a man, and he is only completely a man when he plays.
Friedrich Schiller
Sorrows must die with the joys they outnumber.
Friedrich Schiller
The May of life blooms once and never again.
Friedrich Schiller
Speech is always bolder than action.
Friedrich Schiller
