Top 15 Friedrich Schiller Quotes

Did you think the lion was sleeping because he didn't roar?

The joke loses everything when the joker laughs himself.

To save all we must risk all.

Every true genius is bound to be naive.

Keep true to the dreams of thy youth.

Only those who have the patience to do simple things perfectly will acquire the skill to do difficult things easily.

Live with your century, but do not be its creature.

We shall be free, just as our fathers were.

I feel an army in my fist.

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

Dare to err and to dream. Deep meaning often lies in childish play.

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

There are three lessons I would write-
Three words, as with a burning pen,
In tracings of eternal light,
Upon the heart of men.

Have hope! though clouds environ round,
And gladness hides her face in scorn,
Put thou the shadow from thy brow,
No night but hath its morn.

Have love! not love alone for one,
But man as man thy brother call,
And scatter like the circling sun,
Thy charities on all.

The voice of the majority is no proof of justice

If you cannot please everyone with your deeds and your art, please a few. To please many is bad.
