Friedrich von Schiller quotes
Every true genius is bound to be naive.
Against stupidity the very gods themselves contend in vain.
Art is the right hand of Nature. The latter has only given us being, the former has made us men.
Be noble minded! Our own heart, and not other men's opinions of us, forms our true honor.
He who considers too much will perform little.
He who has done his best for his own time has lived for all times.
It is base to filch a purse, daring to embezzle a million, but it is great beyond measure to steal a crown. The sin lessens as the guilt increases.
Knowledge, the object of knowledge and the knower are the three factors which motivate action; the senses, the work and the doer comprise the threefold basis of action.
Opposition always inflames the enthusiast, never converts him.
Peace is rarely denied to the peaceful.
That which is so universal as death must be a benefit.
Who dares nothing, need hope for nothing.
