More quotes by Friedrich Schiller
He who has done his best for his own time has lived for all times.
Friedrich Schiller
In a narrow circle the mind contracts. Man grows with his expanded needs.
Friedrich Schiller
The world's history is constant, like the laws of nature, and simple, like the souls of men. The same conditions continually produce the same results.
Friedrich Schiller
As inclination changes, thus ebbs and flows the unstable tide of public judgment.
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
Be true, and thou shalt fetter time with everlasting chain.
Friedrich Schiller
Man only plays when in the full meaning of the word he is a man, and he is only completely a man when he plays.
Friedrich Schiller
To the fool-king belongs the world.
Friedrich Schiller
A healthy nature needs no God or immortality
Friedrich Schiller
If we do not find anything very pleasant, at least we shall find something new.
Friedrich Schiller
Live with your century but do not be its creature.
Friedrich Schiller
One can give advice comfortably from a safe port.
Friedrich Schiller
O jealousy! thou magnifier of trifles.
Friedrich Schiller
Whatever lives, lives to die in sorrow. We engage our hearts, and grasp after the things of this world, only to undergo the pang of losing them.
Friedrich Schiller
Time consecrates and what is gray with age becomes religion.
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
The man who fears nothing is as powerful as he who is feared by everybody.
Friedrich Schiller
False fancy brings real misery.
Friedrich Schiller
Whatever is not forbidden is permitted.
Friedrich Schiller
The Moor has done his work, the Moor may go.
Friedrich Schiller
