Friedrich Schiller quotes - page 6
This feat of Tell, the archer, will be told While yonder mountains stand upon their base. By heaven! The apple's cleft right through the core.
Friedrich Schiller
Self Confidence has always been the parent of great actions.
Friedrich Schiller
Life is only error, And death is knowledge.
Friedrich Schiller
O the idea was childish, but divinely beautiful.
Friedrich Schiller
In thy breast are the stars of thy fate.
Friedrich Schiller
All men without distinction, are allured by immediate advantages. Great minds alone are excited by distant good. So long as wisdom in it's projects, calculates upon wisdom, or relies upon it's own strength, it forms none by chimerical schemes - and runs the risk of making itself the laughter of the world. But it is certain of success, and can reckon upon aid and admiration, when it finds a place in it's plans for barbarism, rapacity and superstition and can render the selifsh passions of mankind the executor of its' purposes.
Friedrich Schiller
Life is but a moment. Death is but a moment, too.
Friedrich Schiller
What are hopes, what are plans?
Friedrich Schiller
To the Gods we ne'er can render Praise for every good they grant; Let us, with devotion tender, Minister to grief and want. Quenched be hate and wrath forever, Pardoned be our mortal foe- May our tears upbraid him never, No repentance bring him low!
Friedrich Schiller
Who reflects too much will accomplish little.
Friedrich Schiller
A moment lived in paradise Is not atoned for too dearly by death.
Friedrich Schiller
Threefold the stride of Time, from first to last! Loitering slow, the Future creepeth - Arrow-swift, the Present sweepeth - And motionless forever stands the Past.
Friedrich Schiller
When man is raised from his slumber in the senses, he feels that he is a man, he surveys his surroundings, and finds that he is in a state. He was introduced into this state, by the power of circumstances, before he could freely select his own position. But as a moral being he cannot possibly rest satisfied with a political condition forced upon him by necessity, and only calculated for that condition; and it would be unfortunate if this did satisfy him. In many cases man shakes off this blind law of necessity, by his free spontaneous action, of which among many others we have an instance, in his ennobling by beauty and suppressing by moral influence the powerful impulse implanted in him by nature in the passion of love.
Friedrich Schiller
His Armies, weakened by defeat and defeat, dispirited by misfortune, had unlearned - under beaten generals - that warlike impetuosity which as it is the consequence, so it is the guarentee of success.
Friedrich Schiller
You say it as you understand it.
Friedrich Schiller
I have only an office here, and no opinion.
Friedrich Schiller
In circumstances where the law of force prevails, where security depends on power alone, the weakest party is naturally the most busy to place itself in a posture of defense.
Friedrich Schiller
Fortune, which had never forsaken him in his lifetime, favored the King of Sweden even in his death, with the rare privilege of falling in the fullness of his glory and an untarnished fame. By a timely death, his protecting genius rescued him from the inevitable fate of man - that of forgetting moderation in the intoxication of success, and justice in the plenitude of power.
Friedrich Schiller
Be embraced, ye millions! This kiss is for the whole world! Brothers, above the arch of stars A loving Father surely dwells.
Friedrich Schiller
The intelligible forms of ancient poets, The fair humanities of old religion, The power, the beauty, and the majesty That had their haunts in dale or piny mountain, Or forest by slow stream, or pebbly spring, Or chasms and watery depths, - all these have vanished; They live no longer in the faith of reason.
Friedrich Schiller
Welcome, all ye myriad creatures! Brethren, take the kiss of love!
Friedrich Schiller
Law can only be applied to foreseeable cases.
Friedrich Schiller
