More quotes by Friedrich Schiller
Gray hairs are death's blossoms.
Friedrich Schiller
Sorrows must die with the joys they outnumber.
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
Stubbornness is not firmness.
Friedrich Schiller
Arrow-swift the present sweepeth, and motionless forever stands the past.
Friedrich Schiller
Deeper meaning resides in the fairy tales told to me in my childhood than in the truth that is taught by life.
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
As soon as I have begun to fear I have ceased to fear.
Friedrich Schiller
Great souls endure in silence.
Friedrich Schiller
Lose not yourself in a far off time, seize the moment that is thine.
Friedrich Schiller
False fancy brings real misery.
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
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
Obedience decks the Christian most.
Friedrich Schiller
The worst of me is known, and I can say that I am better than the reputation I bear.
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
Will it, and set to work briskly.
Friedrich Schiller
The Moor has done his work, the Moor may go.
Friedrich Schiller
It is through beauty that we arrive at freedom.
Friedrich Schiller
Even the weak become strong when they are united.
Friedrich Schiller
