Author of quotes: Johann Christoph Friedrich von Schiller

Often, imagination plays a strange game with a person who feels that he is above morality and wiser mind.

Dignity expresses the resistance of spirit to instinct.

Istinnaya morality is produced only in the school of adversity; a permanent happiness can easily become fatal abyss for virtue.

The pleasure provided by art is a path to morality.

All immorality stems from the conflict of the good with the pleasant, passion with reason - and has a source strength of sensual impulses and weakness of moral will.

Enlightened mind ennobles moral feelings; the head should educate the heart.

The curse of evil deeds that again and again it creates evil.

Simplicity is the result of maturity.
Einfachheit ist das Resultat der Reife.

Don't be afraid of confusion around, but fear of confusion within ourselves.
Fürchte dich nicht vor der Verwirrung außer dir aber vor der Verwirrung in dir!

The most beautiful dreams of freedom dreams in prison.
Die schönsten Träume von Freiheit werden im Kerker geträumt.

The more sin, the less shame.
Die Schande ab nimmt mit der wachsenden Sünde.

Russia can only be defeated by Russia.
Russland wird nur durch Russland überwunden.

Where is the shelter for the world in store?
Where you will find the freedom of man?
Old age is marked by storm,
In the blood of the new born century.

Only he can love the good, who is able heartily, implacable hate evil.
