The mountain cannot frighten one who was born on it.
Friedrich Schiller
Never the grave gives back what it has won!
Friedrich Schiller
Revenge is barren of itself: it is the dreadful food it feeds on its delight is murder, and its end is despair.
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
An honest man you may form of windle-straws, but to make a rogue you must have grist.
Friedrich Schiller
I am called The richest monarch in the Christian world The sun in my dominion never sets.
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
Man is made of ordinary things, and habit is his nurse.
Friedrich Schiller
The painter is, as to the execution of his work, a mechanic but as to his conception and spirit and design he is hardly below even the poet.
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
Great souls endure in silence.
Friedrich Schiller
It is criminal to steal a purse, daring to steal a fortune, a mark of greatness to steal a crown. The blame diminishes as the guilt increases.
Friedrich Schiller
Freedom can occur only through education.
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
Utility is the great idol of the age, to which all powers must do service and all talents swear allegiance. In this great balance of utility, the spiritual service of art has no weight, and, deprived of all encouragement, it vanishes from the noisy Vanity Fair of our time.
Friedrich Schiller
A pity about the people! they are brave enough comrades, but they have heads like a soapboiler's.
Friedrich Schiller
Weep, for the light is dead.
Friedrich Schiller
To live is to dream, and to dream pleasantly is to be wise.
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
Gray hairs are death's blossoms.
Friedrich Schiller
