Why should I deem myself to be a chisel, when I could be the artist?

Friedrich Schiller 493 quotes

He, that noble prize possessing He that boasts a friend that's true, He whom woman's love is blessing, Let him join the chorus too!

Friedrich Schiller 493 quotes

As noble Art has survived nob...

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 493 quotes

Regarded in isolation, an ide...

Regarded in isolation, an idea may be quite insignificant, and venturesome in the extreme, but it may acquire importance from an idea which follows it; perhaps, in a certain collocation with other ideas, which may seem equally absurd, it may be capable of furnishing a very serviceable link.

Friedrich Schiller 493 quotes

The great happiness of life, ...

The great happiness of life, I find, after all, to consist in the regular discharge of some mechanical duty.

Friedrich Schiller 493 quotes

If you want to study yourself...

If you want to study yourself, look into the hearts of other people. If you want to study other people, look into your own heart.

In a narrow circle the mind grows narrow. The more one expands, the larger their aims.

Friedrich Schiller 493 quotes

You have to go the rounds from individual to individual in order to gather the totality of the race.

Friedrich Schiller 493 quotes

The victor is often vanquishe...

The victor is often vanquished by his own success.

Friedrich Schiller 493 quotes

The reason for you complaint ...

The reason for you complaint lies, it seems to me, in the constraint which your intellect imposes upon your imagination. Here I will make an observation, and illustrate it by an allegory. Apparently, it is not good-and indeed it hinders the creative work of the mind-if the if the intellect examines too closely the ideas pouring in, as it were, at the gates.

Friedrich Schiller 493 quotes

Man ever talks, and Man ever ...

Man ever talks, and Man ever dreams Of better days that are yet to be, After glittering goal, that distant gleams, Running and racing untiringly. The worldly may grow old and young as it will, But the Hope of man is Improvement still. Hope bears him into life in her arms, She flutters around the boy's young bloom, The soul of youth with her magic warms, Nor rests with age in the silent tomb; For ends man his weary course at the grave, There plants he Hope o'er his ashes to wave.

Friedrich Schiller 493 quotes

No greater grief than to reme...

No greater grief than to remember days of gladness when sorrow is at hand.

Friedrich Schiller 493 quotes

Seraphs share with thee Knowl...

Seraphs share with thee Knowledge; but Art, O Man, is thine alone!

Friedrich Schiller 493 quotes

Foster the beautiful, and every hour thou tallest new flowers to birth.

Friedrich Schiller 493 quotes

O that it might remain eterna...

O that it might remain eternally green,
The beautiful time of youthful love.

Friedrich Schiller 493 quotes

We can never replace a friend...

We can never replace a friend. When a man is fortunate enough to have several, he finds they are all different. No one has a double in friendship.

Friedrich Schiller 493 quotes

Gray hairs are death's blosso...

Gray hairs are death's blossoms.

Friedrich Schiller 493 quotes

Egotism erects its center in ...

Egotism erects its center in itself; love places it out of itself in the axis of the universal whole. Love aims at unity, egotism at solitude. Love is the citizen ruler of a flourishing republic, egotism is a despot in a devastated creation. Egotism sows for gratitude, love for the ungrateful. Love gives, egotism lends; and love does this before the throne of judicial truth, indifferent if for the enjoyment of the following moment, or with the view to a martyr's crown--indifferent whether the reward is in this life or in the next.

Friedrich Schiller 493 quotes

Death is a mighty mediator. T...

Death is a mighty mediator. There all the flames of rage are extinguished, hatred is appeased, and angelic pity, like a weeping sister, bends with gentle and close embrace over the funeral urn.

Wise to resolve, patient to perform.
