More quotes by Friedrich Schiller
Whatever lives, lives to die in sorrow. We engage our hearts, and grasp after the things of this world, only to undergo the pang of losing them.
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
In a narrow circle the mind contracts. Man grows with his expanded needs.
Friedrich Schiller
What the inner voice says will not disappoint the hoping soul.
Friedrich Schiller
One drop of hatred left in the cup of joy turns the most blissful draught into poison.
Friedrich Schiller
As noble Art has survived noble nature, so too she marches ahead of it, fashioning and awakening by her inspiration. Before Truth sends her triumphant light into the depths of the heart, imagination catches its rays, and the peaks of humanity will be glowing when humid night still lingers in the valleys.
Friedrich Schiller
It is often wise to reveal that which cannot be concealed for long.
Friedrich Schiller
There is more to life than just existing and having a pleasant time.
Friedrich Schiller
What's old collapses, times change, And new life blossoms in the ruins.
Friedrich Schiller
Love can sun the realms of night.
Friedrich Schiller

Friedrich Schiller
The hat is the pride of man for he who cannot keep his hat on before kings and emperors is no free man.
Friedrich Schiller
Emulation is a noble and just passion, full of appreciation.
Friedrich Schiller
Aesthetic matters are fundamental for the harmonious development of both society and the individual.
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
Nothing leads to good that is not natural.
Friedrich Schiller
The brave person thinks of himself last of all.
Friedrich Schiller
Foster the beautiful, and every hour thou tallest new flowers to birth.
Friedrich Schiller
To the fool-king belongs the world.
Friedrich Schiller
Historians are prophets with their face turned backward.
Friedrich Schiller
