More quotes by Friedrich Schiller
The mountain cannot frighten one who was born on it.
Friedrich Schiller
The strong man is strongest when alone.
Friedrich Schiller
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.
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
Many a smiling face hides a mourning heart but grief alone teaches us what we are.
Friedrich Schiller
Joy, thou spark from Heav'n immortal, Daughter of Elysium! Drunk with fire, toward Heaven advancing Goddess, to thy shrine we come. Thy sweet magic brings together What stern Custom spreads afar All men become brothers Where thy happy wing-beats are.
Friedrich Schiller
Futurity is impregnable to mortal ken: no prayer pierces through heaven's adamantine walls. Whether the birds fly right or left, whatever be the aspect of the stars, the book of nature is a maze, dreams are a lie, and every sign a falsehood.
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
No cause has he to say his doom is harsh, who's made the master of his destiny.
Friedrich Schiller
The worst of me is known, and I can say that I am better than the reputation I bear.
Friedrich Schiller
Will it, and set to work briskly.
Friedrich Schiller
The jest loses its point when he who makes it is the first to laugh.
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
Alas! When duty grows thy law, enjoyment fades away.
Friedrich Schiller
Be noble minded! Our own heart, and not other men's opinions of us, forms our true honor.
Friedrich Schiller
Spring flies, and with it all the train it leads and flowers, in fading, leave us but their seeds.
Friedrich Schiller
He that is overcautious will accomplish little.
Friedrich Schiller
I have enjoyed earthly happiness, I have lived and loved.
Friedrich Schiller
Pain is short, and joy is eternal.
Friedrich Schiller
No doubt the artist is the child of his time but woe to him if he is also its disciple, or even its favorite.
Friedrich Schiller
