Famous Friedrich Schiller Quotes
When you are not happy with your life, always think that someone is happy simply because you existThe future comes slowly, the present flies and the past stands still forever.Only those who have the patience to do simple things perfectly will acquire the skill to do difficult things easily.It is well for a man when he has learned to endure what he cannot change, and to give up with dignity what he cannot retain.Against stupidity, God Himself fights in vain.Great souls endure in silence.It is not the mere station of life that stamps the value on us, but the manner in which we act our part.Dare to be wrong and to dream.Happy he who learns to bear what he cannot change.The voice of the majority is no proof of justice.Friends show me what I can do, foes teach me what I should do.Every man stamps his value on himself… man is made great or small by his own will.Who dares nothing, need hope for nothing.There is no such thing as chance; and what seem to us merest accident springs from the deepest source of destiny.Did you think the lion was sleeping because he didn’t roar?Lose not yourself in a far off time, seize the moment that is thine.If you wish to know yourself observe how others act. If you wish to understand others look into your own heart.Nothing leads to good that is not natural.In the society, where people are just parts in a larger machine, individuals are unable to develop fully.Tags:10 November 1759, 9 May 1805, Friedrich Schiller, Friedrich Schiller Quotes
