More quotes by 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
You saw his weakness, and he will never forgive you.
Friedrich Schiller
That which is so universal as death must be a benefit.
Friedrich Schiller
As freely as the firmament embraces the world, so mercy must encircle friend and foe. The sun poursforth impartially his beams through all the regions of infinity heaven bestows the dew equally on every thirsty plant. Whatever is good and comes from on high is universal and without reserve: but in the heart's recesses darkness dwells.
Friedrich Schiller
Modest humility is beauty's crown.
Friedrich Schiller
No doubt the artist is the child of his time but woe to him if he is also its disciple, or even its favorite.
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
This is the curse of an evil deed, that it incites and must bring forth more evil.
Friedrich Schiller
Youth covets let not this covetousness seduce you.
Friedrich Schiller
He who has done his best for his own time has lived for all times.
Friedrich Schiller
Cling to thy native land, for it is the land of thy fathers?
Friedrich Schiller
Sorrows must die with the joys they outnumber.
Friedrich Schiller
Every man stamps his value on himself... man is made great or small by his own will.
Friedrich Schiller
No greater grief than to remember days of gladness when sorrow is at hand.
Friedrich Schiller
No cause has he to say his doom is harsh, who's made the master of his destiny.
Friedrich Schiller
Fate always wins, for our own heart within us Imperiously furthers its designs.
Friedrich Schiller
The brave person thinks of himself last of all.
Friedrich Schiller
Lose not yourself in a far off time, seize the moment that is thine.
Friedrich Schiller
Forgiveness is the finding again of a lost possession.
Friedrich Schiller
He who neglects the present moment throws away all he has.
Friedrich Schiller
