Friedrich Schiller's quote highlights the importance of originality and authenticity in one's actions and creations.

In practice
This quote can be used in a motivational speech about the importance of being true to oneself.
Art is the daughter of freedom.
There is no such thing as chance; and what seem to us merest accident springs from the deepest source of destiny.
Who dares nothing, need hope for nothing.
While the womanly god demands our veneration, the godlike woman kindles our love; but while we allow ourselves to melt in the celestial loveliness, the celestial self-sufficiency holds us back in awe.
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.
Wise to resolve, patient to perform.
The Red Poppy The great thing is not having a mind. Feelings: oh, I have those; they govern me. I have a lord in heaven called the sun, and open for him, showing him the fire of my own heart, fire like his presence. What could such glory be if not a heart? Oh my brothers and sisters, were you like me once, long ago, before you were human? Did you permit yourselves to open once, who would never open again? Because in truth I am speaking now the way you do. I speak because I am shattered.
What you do speaks so loud that I cannot hear what you say.
Your body has to be in top condition. Your Chess deteriorates as your body does. You can't separate body from mind
A complainer is like a Death Eater because there's a suction of negative energy. You can catch a great attitude from great people.
I know you won't believe me, but the highest form of Human Excellence is to question oneself and others.
Everything can be used as an invitation to meditation
