More quotes by Friedrich Schiller
To gain a crown by fighting is great, to reject it divine.
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
Ever building, building to the clouds, still building higher, and never reflecting that the poor narrow basis cannot sustain the giddy tottering column.
Friedrich Schiller
If you have never seen beauty in a moment of suffering, you have never seen beauty at all. If you have never seen joy in a beautiful face, you have never seen joy at all.
Friedrich Schiller
Great souls endure in silence.
Friedrich Schiller
The man who fears nothing is as powerful as he who is feared by everybody.
Friedrich Schiller
A virtuous name is the precious only good, for which queens and peasants' wives must contest together.
Friedrich Schiller
His saying was: live and let live.
Friedrich Schiller
Individual character is in the right that is in strict consistence with itself. Self-contradiction is the only wrong.
Friedrich Schiller
Stubbornness is not firmness.
Friedrich Schiller
Yet have I ever heard it said that spies and tale-bearers have done more mischief in this world than poisoned bowl or the assassin's dagger.
Friedrich Schiller
What is life without the radiance of love?
Friedrich Schiller
A beautiful soul has no other merit than its own existence.
Friedrich Schiller
The voice of the majority is no proof of justice.
Friedrich Schiller
The Moor has done his work, the Moor may go.
Friedrich Schiller
The storm is master. Man, as a ball, is tossed twixt winds and billows.
Friedrich Schiller
Wouldst thou know thyself, observe the actions of others. Wouldst thou other men know, look thou within thine own heart.
Friedrich Schiller
He who neglects the present moment throws away all he has.
Friedrich Schiller
There are evil spirits who suddenly fix their abode in man's unguarded breast, causing us to commit devilish deeds, and then, hurrying back to their native hell, leave behind the stings of remorse in the poisoned bosom.
Friedrich Schiller
A gloomy guest fits not a wedding feast.
Friedrich Schiller
