Image
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
Image
An honest man you may form of windle-straws, but to make a rogue you must have grist.

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

Friends show me what I can do, foes teach me what I should do.
Friedrich Schiller
Image
Full of wisdom are the ordinations of fate.
Friedrich Schiller
Image
This is the curse of an evil deed, that it incites and must bring forth more evil.
Friedrich Schiller
Image
When the gods were more manlike, Men were more godlike.
Friedrich Schiller
Image
Man, one may say, was never in such a completely animal condition but he has, on the other hand, never escaped from it.
Friedrich Schiller
Image
Day's lustrous eyes grow heavy in sweet death.
Friedrich Schiller
Image
To live is to dream, and to dream pleasantly is to be wise.

All things must man is the only creature that wills.
