“Dare to be wrong and to dream.”
- Friedrich Schiller

"He who has done his best for his own time has lived for all times."
- Friedrich Schiller

"Egotism erects its center in itself; love places it out of itself in the axis of the universal whole. Love aims at unity, egotism at solitude. Love is the citizen ruler of a flourishing republic, egotism is a despot in a devastated creation. Egotism sows for gratitude, love for the ungrateful. Love gives, egotism lends; and love does this before the throne of judicial truth, indifferent if for the enjoyment of the following moment, or with the view to a martyr's crown--indifferent whether the reward is in this life or in the next."
- Friedrich Schiller

“He that is overcautious will accomplish little”
- Friedrich Schiller

"It hinders the creative work of the mind if the intellect examines too closely the ideas as they pour in."
- Friedrich Schiller

"The rich become richer and the poor become poorer is a cry heard throughout the whole civilized world."
- Friedrich Schiller

"It is often wise to reveal that which cannot be concealed for long."
- Friedrich Schiller

"Keep true to the dreams of your youth."
- Friedrich Schiller
