Friedrich Schiller

Honesty prospers in every condition of life.

One drop of hatred left in the cup of joy turns the most blissful draught into poison.

Where there is much freedom there is much error.

Freedom exists only with power.

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

Ah, to that far distant strand_x000D_ _x000D_ Bridge there was not to convey,_x000D_ _x000D_ Not a bark was near at hand,_x000D_ _x000D_ Yet true love soon found the way.

Thus Arm in Arm with thee I dare defy my century into the lists.

The game of life looks cheerful when one carries a treasure safe in his heart.

The May of life blooms once and never again.

Wouldst thou wisely, and with pleasure,_x000D_ _x000D_ Pass the days of life's short measure,_x000D_ _x000D_ From the slow one counsel take,_x000D_ _x000D_ But a tool of him ne'er make;_x000D_ _x000D_ Ne'er as friend the swift one know,_x000D_ _x000D_ Nor the constant one as foe.

Life did not present its sunny side to thee.

Deep meaning lies often in childish play.

Wouldst thou know thyself, observe the actions of others._x000D_ _x000D_ Wouldst thou other men know, look thou within thine own heart.

Let no one despair, even though in the darkest night the last star of hope may disappear.

Doch zittre vor der langsamen,_x000D_ _x000D_ Der stillen Macht der Zeit._x000D_ _x000D_ Yet tremble at the slow, silent power of time.

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

The iron chain and the silken cord are both equally bonds.

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

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

On the mountains there is freedom!_x000D_ The world is perfect everywhere,_x000D_ Save where man comes with his torment.

When the wine goes in, strange things come out.
