Truth suffers no loss if a vehement youth fails in finding it, in the same way that virtue and religion suffer no detriment if a criminal denies them.
Friedrich Schiller -
They would need to be already wise, in order to love wisdom.
Friedrich Schiller
-
Die Weltgeschichte ist das Weltgericht.
Friedrich Schiller -
Appearance should never attain reality,And if nature conquers, then must art retire.
Friedrich Schiller -
The reason passes, like the heart, through certain epochs and transitions, but its development is not so often portrayed. Men seem to have been satisfied with unfolding the passions in their extremes, their aberration, and their results, without considering how closely they are bound up with the intellectual constitution of the individual.
Friedrich Schiller -
A noble heart will always capitulate to reason.
Friedrich Schiller -
The greater part of humanity is too much harassed and fatigued by the struggle with want, to rally itself for a new and sterner struggle with error.

Peace is rarely denied to the peaceful.
Friedrich Schiller
-

Friedrich Schiller -
The mountain cannot frighten one who was born on it.

It hinders the creative work of the mind if the intellect examines too closely the ideas as they pour in.
Friedrich Schiller -
Joy, thou spark from Heav'n immortal,Daughter of Elysium!Drunk with fire, toward Heaven advancingGoddess, to thy shrine we come.Thy sweet magic brings togetherWhat stern Custom spreads afar;All men become brothersWhere thy happy wing-beats are.

Friedrich Schiller -
It is difficult to discriminate the voice of truth from amid the clamor raised by heated partisans.
Friedrich Schiller -
Even the Strongest Minds Cannot, with impunity, defy the prejudices of the age.
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
-
Full of wisdom are the ordinations of fate.
Friedrich Schiller -
To the Gods we ne'er can renderPraise 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 -
Wir wollen sein ein einzig Volk von Brüdern, in keiner Not uns trennen und Gefahr. Wir wollen frei sein, wie die Väter waren, eher den Tod, als in der Knechtschaft leben. Wir wollen trauen auf den höchsten Gott und uns nicht fürchten vor der Macht der Menschen.
Friedrich Schiller -
Grosse Seelen dulden still.
Friedrich Schiller
