Friedrich Schiller
Every man stamps his value on himself... man is made great or small by his own will.
Friedrich Schiller

Friedrich Schiller
Not he who scorns the Saviour's yoke Should wear his cross upon the heart.
Friedrich Schiller

Friedrich Schiller
Even the weak become strong when they are united.
Friedrich Schiller
It is only through the morning gate of the beautiful that you can penetrate into the realm of knowledge. That which we feel here as beauty we shall one day know as truth.
Friedrich Schiller
As soon as I have begun to fear I have ceased to fear.
Friedrich Schiller
No greater grief than to remember days of gladness when sorrow is at hand.
Friedrich Schiller
