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.

More quotes by Friedrich Schiller
Modest humility is beauty's crown.
Friedrich Schiller
Toil of science swells the wealth of art.
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
Man, one may say, was never in such a completely animal condition but he has, on the other hand, never escaped from it.
Friedrich Schiller
I feel an army in my fist.
Friedrich Schiller
In a narrow circle the mind grows narrow. The more one expands, the larger their aims.
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
Thus Arm in Arm with thee I dare defy my century into the lists.
Friedrich Schiller
The strong man is strongest when alone.
Friedrich Schiller
It is play and only play that makes man complete.
Friedrich Schiller
O'er Ocean, with a thousand masts, sails forth the stripling bold- One boat, hard rescued from the deep, draws into port the old!
Friedrich Schiller
What's old collapses, times change, And new life blossoms in the ruins.
Friedrich Schiller
To gain a crown by fighting is great, to reject it divine.
Friedrich Schiller
O who knows what slumbers in the background of the times?
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
Obedience decks the Christian most.
Friedrich Schiller
If you have never seen beauty in a moment of suffering, you have never seen beauty at all. If you have never seen joy in a beautiful face, you have never seen joy at all.
Friedrich Schiller
False fancy brings real misery.
Friedrich Schiller
Great souls suffer in silence.
Friedrich Schiller
Nothing leads to good that is not natural.
Friedrich Schiller
