More quotes by Friedrich Schiller
Whatever is not forbidden is permitted.
Friedrich Schiller
O jealousy! thou magnifier of trifles.
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
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
Great souls endure in silence.
Friedrich Schiller
Ever building, building to the clouds, still building higher, and never reflecting that the poor narrow basis cannot sustain the giddy tottering column.
Friedrich Schiller
In the society, where people are just parts in a larger machine, individuals are unable to develop fully.
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
Joy is the mainspring in the whole Of endless Nature's calm rotation. Joy moves the dazzling wheels that roll In the great Time-piece of Creation.
Friedrich Schiller
Full of wisdom are the ordinations of fate.
Friedrich Schiller
That which is so universal as death must be a benefit.
Friedrich Schiller
One can give advice comfortably from a safe port.
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
Cling to thy native land, for it is the land of thy fathers?
Friedrich Schiller
Man is made of ordinary things, and habit is his nurse.
Friedrich Schiller
Pain is short, and joy is eternal.
Friedrich Schiller
What is life without the radiance of love?
Friedrich Schiller
Disappointments are to the soul what a thunderstorm is to the air.
Friedrich Schiller
To the fool-king belongs the world.
Friedrich Schiller
Lose not yourself in a far off time, seize the moment that is thine.
Friedrich Schiller
