More quotes by Friedrich Schiller
Joy all creatures drink At nature's bosoms.
Friedrich Schiller
Like a dart the present glances, Silent stands the past sublime.
Friedrich Schiller
A healthy nature needs no God or immortality
Friedrich Schiller
Great souls endure in silence.
Friedrich Schiller
The world's history is constant, like the laws of nature, and simple, like the souls of men. The same conditions continually produce the same results.
Friedrich Schiller
Sentimental poetry differs from naive poetry in that it relates the real state at which the latter stops to ideas and applies ideas to that reality.
Friedrich Schiller
It is easy to give advice from a port of safety.
Friedrich Schiller
One drop of hatred left in the cup of joy turns the most blissful draught into poison.
Friedrich Schiller
Art is the right hand of Nature.
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
Time consecrates and what is gray with age becomes religion.
Friedrich Schiller
It is difficult to discriminate the voice of truth from amid the clamor raised by heated partisans.
Friedrich Schiller
Only the soldier is a free man, because he can look death in the face.
Friedrich Schiller
It may here be justly said, that genuine morality is preserved only in the school of adversity, and a state of continuous prosperity may easily prove a quicksand to virtue.
Friedrich Schiller
If you wish to know yourself observe how others act. If you wish to understand others look into your own heart.
Friedrich Schiller
Cling to thy native land, for it is the land of thy fathers?
Friedrich Schiller
O that it might remain eternally green, The beautiful time of youthful love.
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
Obedience decks the Christian most.
Friedrich Schiller
Art is difficult, transient is her reward.
Friedrich Schiller
