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.

More quotes by 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
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
Every man stamps his value on himself... man is made great or small by his own will.
Friedrich Schiller
I follow my heart, for I can trust it.
Friedrich Schiller
If you cannot please everyone with your deeds and your art, please a few. To please many is bad.
Friedrich Schiller
Many a smiling face hides a mourning heart but grief alone teaches us what we are.
Friedrich Schiller
Joy is the mainspring in the whole Of endless Nature's calm rotation. Joy moves the dazzling wheels that roll In the great Time-piece of Creation.
Friedrich Schiller
The strong man is strongest when alone.
Friedrich Schiller
Great souls endure in silence.
Friedrich Schiller
Keep true to the dreams of your youth.
Friedrich Schiller
The lemonade is weak, like your soul.
Friedrich Schiller
Disappointments are to the soul what a thunderstorm is to the air.
Friedrich Schiller
It is easy to give advice from a port of safety.
Friedrich Schiller
No cause has he to say his doom is harsh, who's made the master of his destiny.
Friedrich Schiller
Friends show me what I can do, foes teach me what I should do.
Friedrich Schiller
Fate always wins, for our own heart within us Imperiously furthers its designs.
Friedrich Schiller
To save all we must risk all.
Friedrich Schiller
Alas! When duty grows thy law, enjoyment fades away.
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
Spring flies, and with it all the train it leads and flowers, in fading, leave us but their seeds.
Friedrich Schiller
