More quotes by Friedrich Schiller
Speech is always bolder than action.
Friedrich Schiller
The world's history is the world's judgment.
Friedrich Schiller
Thus Arm in Arm with thee I dare defy my century into the lists.
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
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
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
Arrow-swift the present sweepeth, and motionless forever stands the past.
Friedrich Schiller
What the inner voice says will not disappoint the hoping soul.
Friedrich Schiller
The May of life blooms once and never again.
Friedrich Schiller
For the world is only governed by self-interest.
Friedrich Schiller
One can give advice comfortably from a safe port.
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
Modest humility is beauty's crown.
Friedrich Schiller
Don't let your heart depend on things That ornament life in a fleeting way! He who possesses, let him learn to lose, He who is fortunate, let him learn pain.
Friedrich Schiller
What reason, like the careful ant, draws laboriously together, the wind of accident sometimes collects in a moment.
Friedrich Schiller
Only the soldier is a free man, because he can look death in the face.
Friedrich Schiller
What's old collapses, times change, And new life blossoms in the ruins.
Friedrich Schiller
Fate always wins, for our own heart within us Imperiously furthers its designs.
Friedrich Schiller
False fancy brings real misery.
Friedrich Schiller
Yes great people are always subject to persecution and always getting into straits.
Friedrich Schiller
