Friedrich Schiller Quotes

It is not flesh and blood, but heart which makes us fathers and sons.

The joke loses everything when the joker laughs himself.

The man of courage thinks not of himself. Help the oppressed and put thy trust in God.

Truth exists for the wise, beauty for the feeling heart.

Oh how can we, scarce mastering our passions, expect that youth should keep itself in check?

Be noble minded! Our own heart, and not other men's opinions of us, forms our true honor.

The voice of the majority is no proof of justice

Man is not better treated by nature in his first start than her other works are; so long as he is unable to act for himself as an independent intelligence she acts for him. But the very fact that constitutes him a man is that he does not remain stationary, where nature has placed him, that he can pass with his reason, retracing the steps nature had made him anticipate, that he can convert the work of necessity into one of free solution, and elevate physical necessity into a moral law.
