More quotes by Friedrich Schiller
Posterity weaves no garlands for imitators.
Friedrich Schiller
Strange customs do not thrive in foreign soil.
Friedrich Schiller
Speech is always bolder than action.
Friedrich Schiller
Appearance should never attain reality, And if nature conquers, then must art retire.
Friedrich Schiller
A beautiful soul has no other merit than its own existence.
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
Man is an imitative creature.
Friedrich Schiller
Against stupidity the very gods themselves contend in vain.
Friedrich Schiller
Full of wisdom are the ordinations of fate.
Friedrich Schiller
Aesthetic matters are fundamental for the harmonious development of both society and the individual.
Friedrich Schiller
Never the grave gives back what it has won!
Friedrich Schiller
In a narrow circle the mind contracts. Man grows with his expanded needs.
Friedrich Schiller
Let him that sows the serpent's teeth not hope to reap a joyous harvest. Every crime has, in the moment of its perpetration, its own avenging angel,--dark misgivings at the inmost heart.
Friedrich Schiller
It is not the mere station of life that stamps the value on us, but the manner in which we act our part.
Friedrich Schiller
No cause has he to say his doom is harsh, who's made the master of his destiny.
Friedrich Schiller
Stubbornness is not firmness.
Friedrich Schiller
Great souls endure in silence.
Friedrich Schiller
Nothing, it is true, is more common than for both Science and Art to pay homage to the spirit of the age, and for creative taste to accept the law of critical taste.
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
In the case of a creative mind, it seems to me, the intellect has withdrawn its watchers from the gates, and the ideas rush in pell-mell and only then does it review and inspect the multitudes.
Friedrich Schiller
