457 Quotes by Friedrich Schiller

Man is only fully human when he plays!

Sorrow is brief but joy is endless.

The universe is one of God’s thoughts.

Courage, ne’er by sorrow broken! Aid where tears of virtue flow; Faith to keep each promise spoken! Truth alike to friend and foe!

Joy, in Nature’s wide dominion, Mightiest cause of all is found; And ’tis joy that moves the pinion When the wheel of time goes round.

Obedience is the Christian’s crown.
