No, no! I do nature injustice. She gave us inventive faculty, and set us naked, and helpless on the shore of this great ocean,--the world swim those who can, the heavy may go to the bottom.

More quotes by Friedrich Schiller
In the society, where people are just parts in a larger machine, individuals are unable to develop fully.
Friedrich Schiller
Votes should be weighed not counted.
Friedrich Schiller
Like a dart the present glances, Silent stands the past sublime.
Friedrich Schiller
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
It may here be justly said, that genuine morality is preserved only in the school of adversity, and a state of continuous prosperity may easily prove a quicksand to virtue.
Friedrich Schiller
O God, how lovely still is life!
Friedrich Schiller
Man is made of ordinary things, and habit is his nurse.
Friedrich Schiller
What the inner voice says will not disappoint the hoping soul.

Every great mind seeks to labor for eternity. All men are captivated by immediate advantages great minds alone are excited by the prospect of distant good.
Friedrich Schiller
In a narrow circle the mind contracts. Man grows with his expanded needs.
Friedrich Schiller
Not he who scorns the Saviour's yoke Should wear his cross upon the heart.
Friedrich Schiller

Friedrich Schiller
Every true genius is bound to be naive.
Friedrich Schiller

Friedrich Schiller
He who neglects the present moment throws away all he has.
Friedrich Schiller
If you cannot please everyone with your deeds and your art, please a few. To please many is bad.
Friedrich Schiller
Strange customs do not thrive in foreign soil.
Friedrich Schiller
That which is so universal as death must be a benefit.
Friedrich Schiller
Speech is always bolder than action.
Friedrich Schiller
Where there is much freedom there is much error.
Friedrich Schiller
