Be noble minded! Our own heart, and not other men's opinions of us, forms our true honor.
Friedrich SchillerWhen you are not happy with your life, always think that someone is happy simply because you exist
Friedrich SchillerThe painter is, as to the execution of his work, a mechanic; but as to his conception and spirit and design he is hardly below even the poet.
Friedrich SchillerHistory, insofar as it accustoms human beings to comprehend the whole of the past and to hasten forward with its conclusions into the far future, conceals the boundaries of birth and death, which enclose the life of the human being so narrowly and oppressively, and with a kind of optical illusion, expands his short existence into endless space, leading the individual imperceptibly over into humanity.
