Friedrich Schiller

Friedrich Schiller

Friedrich Schiller
Where there is much freedom there is much error.
Friedrich Schiller
Great souls suffer in silence.
Friedrich Schiller
If you wish to know yourself observe how others act. If you wish to understand others look into your own heart.
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

Friedrich Schiller
To gain a crown by fighting is great, to reject it divine.
Friedrich Schiller

Friedrich Schiller
Many a crown shines spotless now that yet was deeply sullied in the winning.
Friedrich Schiller
Intellect--brain force.
Friedrich Schiller
I feel that I am a man of destiny.
Friedrich Schiller
The happy man does not notice the flight of time.
Friedrich Schiller
It is not flesh and blood, but heart which makes us fathers and sons.
Friedrich Schiller
Wouldst thou know thyself, observe the actions of others. Wouldst thou other men know, look thou within thine own heart.
Friedrich Schiller
Against stupidity the very gods themselves contend in vain.
Friedrich Schiller
He, that noble prize possessing He that boasts a friend that's true, He whom woman's love is blessing, Let him join the chorus too!
Friedrich Schiller
Soon is the struggle past, and to the earth, To the eternal sun, I render back These atoms, joined in me for pain and pleasure.
Friedrich Schiller
