Today is the birthday of Johann Christoph Friedrich von Schiller (November 10, 1759 – May 9, 1805), poet, philosopher, historian, and playwright.
“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
