More quotes by Friedrich Schiller
The storm is master. Man, as a ball, is tossed twixt winds and billows.
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
That which is so universal as death must be a benefit.
Friedrich Schiller
Man is made of the wholly common, and custom is his nurse woe then to them who lay irreverent hands on his old house-furniture, the dear inheritance from his forefathers: For time consecrates, and what is gray with age becomes religion.
Friedrich Schiller
No greater grief than to remember days of gladness when sorrow is at hand.
Friedrich Schiller
Mankind is made great or little by its own will.
Friedrich Schiller
Seraphs share with thee Knowledge but Art, O Man, is thine alone!
Friedrich Schiller
Foster the beautiful, and every hour thou tallest new flowers to birth.
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
Deeper meaning resides in the fairy tales told to me in my childhood than in the truth that is taught by life.
Friedrich Schiller
Joy, thou spark from Heav'n immortal, Daughter of Elysium! Drunk with fire, toward Heaven advancing Goddess, to thy shrine we come. Thy sweet magic brings together What stern Custom spreads afar All men become brothers Where thy happy wing-beats are.
Friedrich Schiller
Sorrows must die with the joys they outnumber.
Friedrich Schiller
The May of life blooms once and never again.
Friedrich Schiller
Gray hairs are death's blossoms.
Friedrich Schiller
Thus Arm in Arm with thee I dare defy my century into the lists.
Friedrich Schiller
A noble soul spreads even over a face in which the architectonic beauty is wanting an irresistible grace, and a often even triumphs over the natural disfavor.
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
Every man stamps his value on himself... man is made great or small by his own will.
Friedrich Schiller
Man is made of ordinary things, and habit is his nurse.
Friedrich Schiller
O jealousy! thou magnifier of trifles.
Friedrich Schiller
