More quotes by 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
It is well for a man when he has learned to endure what he cannot change, and to give up with dignity what he cannot retain.
Friedrich Schiller
Rigor pushed too far is sure to miss its aim, however good, as the bow snaps that is bent too stiffly.
Friedrich Schiller
Spring flies, and with it all the train it leads and flowers, in fading, leave us but their seeds.
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
An axe at home saves hiring a carpenter.
Friedrich Schiller
False fancy brings real misery.
Friedrich Schiller
Posterity weaves no garlands for imitators.
Friedrich Schiller
What else is chance but the rude stone which receives its life from the sculptor's hand? Providence gives us chance, and man must mould it to his own designs.
Friedrich Schiller
A healthy nature needs no God or immortality
Friedrich Schiller
Gray hairs are death's blossoms.
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
Cowards have done good and kind actions, but a coward never pardoned.
Friedrich Schiller
Intellect--brain force.
Friedrich Schiller
His saying was: live and let live.
Friedrich Schiller
Sorrows must die with the joys they outnumber.
Friedrich Schiller
It is through beauty that we arrive at freedom.
Friedrich Schiller
Secrecy is for the happy,--misery, hopeless misery, needs no veil under a thousand suns it dares act openly.
Friedrich Schiller
Disappointments are to the soul what a thunderstorm is to the air.
Friedrich Schiller
When the gods were more manlike, Men were more godlike.
Friedrich Schiller
