The lemonade is weak, like your soul.
Friedrich Schiller
O who knows what slumbers in the background of the times?
Friedrich Schiller
As noble Art has survived noble nature, so too she marches ahead of it, fashioning and awakening by her inspiration. Before Truth sends her triumphant light into the depths of the heart, imagination catches its rays, and the peaks of humanity will be glowing when humid night still lingers in the valleys.
Friedrich Schiller
The dictates of the heart are the voice of fate.
Friedrich Schiller
The Greeks put us to shame not only by their simplicity, which is foreign to our age; they are at the same time our rivals, nay, frequently our models, in those very points of superiority from which we seek comfort when regretting the unnatural character of our manners. We see that remarkable people uniting at once fullness of form and fullness of substance, both philosophising and creating, both tender and energetic, uniting a youthful fancy to the virility of reason in a glorious humanity.
Friedrich Schiller
We are citizens of an age, as well as of a State; and if it is held to be unseemly, or even inadmissible, for a man to cut himself off from the customs and manners of the circle in which he lives, why should it be less of a duty, in the choice of his activity, to submit his decision to the needs and the taste of his century?
Friedrich Schiller
The hat is the pride of man; for he who cannot keep his hat on before kings and emperors is no free man.
Friedrich Schiller
While the womanly god demands our veneration, the godlike woman kindles our love; but while we allow ourselves to melt in the celestial loveliness, the celestial self-sufficiency holds us back in awe.
Friedrich Schiller
I am called The richest monarch in the Christian world; The sun in my dominion never sets.
Friedrich Schiller
Rarely do we arrive at the summit of truth without running into extremes; we have frequently to exhaust the part of error, and even of folly, before we work our way up to the noble goal of tranquil wisdom.
Friedrich Schiller
The present age has witnessed an extraordinary increase of a thinking public, by the facilities afforded to the diffusion of reading; the former happy resignation to ignorance begins to make way for a state of half-enlightenment, and few persons are willing to remain in the condition in which their birth has placed then.
Friedrich Schiller
Have Faith. Where'er thy bark is driven, - The calm's disport, the tempest's mirth, - Know this: God rules the hosts of heaven, The habitants of earth.
Friedrich Schiller
Pain is short, and joy is eternal.
Friedrich Schiller
Life is earnest, art is gay.
Friedrich Schiller
Each state of the human mind has some parable in the physical creation by which it is shadowed forth; nor is it only artists and poets, but even the most abstract thinkers that have drawn from this source. Lively activity we name fire; time is a stream that rolls on, sweeping all before it; eternity is a circle; a mystery is hid in midnight gloom, and truth dwells in the sun. Nay, I begin to believe that even the future destiny of the human race is prefigured in the dark oracular utterances of bodily creation.
Friedrich Schiller
Man is made of ordinary things, and habit is his nurse.
Friedrich Schiller
What the inner voice says Will not disappoint the hoping soul.
Friedrich Schiller
Virtue has her heroes too As well as Fame and Fortune.
Friedrich Schiller
Many a crown shines spotless now That yet was deeply sullied in the winning.
Friedrich Schiller
The most pious man can't stay in peace If it doesn't please his evil neighbor.
Friedrich Schiller
Love is only known by him who hopelessly persists in love.
Friedrich Schiller
Joy, in Nature's wide dominion, Mightiest cause of all is found; And 'tis joy that moves the pinion, When the wheel of time goes round.
Friedrich Schiller
