Additional quotes by Friedrich Schiller

"Basely indeed they may behave to us,
But they cannot debase us."

Mary Stuart by Friedrich Schiller
Act 1, Scene 2

Let not thy heart cling to the things which for so short a time deck out thy life. Let him who has, learn to lose, and him who is happy, familiarise himself with what may give pain.

Don't let your heart depend on things
That ornament life in a fleeting way!
He who possesses, let him learn to lose,
He who is fortunate, let him learn pain.
