More quotes by Friedrich Schiller
I am called The richest monarch in the Christian world The sun in my dominion never sets.
Friedrich Schiller
Let him that sows the serpent's teeth not hope to reap a joyous harvest. Every crime has, in the moment of its perpetration, its own avenging angel,--dark misgivings at the inmost heart.
Friedrich Schiller
Never the grave gives back what it has won!
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
If you cannot please everyone with your deeds and your art, please a few. To please many is bad.
Friedrich Schiller
He who neglects the present moment throws away all he has.
Friedrich Schiller
Dare to err and to dream. Deep meaning often lies in childish plays.
Friedrich Schiller
Freedom exists only with power.
Friedrich Schiller
Rigor pushed too far is sure to miss its aim, however good, as the bow snaps that is bent too stiffly.
Friedrich Schiller
The Moor has done his work, the Moor may go.
Friedrich Schiller
Art is the right hand of Nature.
Friedrich Schiller
In a narrow circle the mind contracts. Man grows with his expanded needs.
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
Will it, and set to work briskly.
Friedrich Schiller
Most gladly would I give the blood-stained laurel for the first violet which March brings us, the fragrant pledge of the new-fledged year.
Friedrich Schiller
Obedience decks the Christian most.
Friedrich Schiller
Against stupidity the very gods themselves contend in vain.
Friedrich Schiller
Even the weak become strong when they are united.
Friedrich Schiller
It is not the mere station of life that stamps the value on us, but the manner in which we act our part.
Friedrich Schiller
Thus Arm in Arm with thee I dare defy my century into the lists.
Friedrich Schiller
