The Animating Principle.

Nowhere in the organic or sensitive world ever kindles
Novelty, save in the flower, noblest creation of life.

Friedrich Schiller

The Moral Force.

If thou feelest not the beautiful, still thou with reason canst will it;
And as a spirit canst do, that which as man thou canst not.

Friedrich Schiller

The Immutable.

Time flies on restless pinions constant never.
Be constant and thou chainest time forever.

Friedrich Schiller

The Three Ages Of Nature.

Life she received from fable; the schools deprived her of being,
Life creative again she has from reason received.

Friedrich Schiller

Human Action.

Where the pathway begins, eternity seems to lie open,
Yet at the narrowest point even the wisest man stops.

Friedrich Schiller

Geniality.

How does the genius make itself known? In the way that in nature
Shows the Creator himself, e'en in the infinite whole.
Clear is the ether, and yet of depth that ne'er can be fathomed;
Seen by the eye, it remains evermore closed to the sense.

Friedrich Schiller

Variety.

Many are good and wise; yet all for one only reckon,
For 'tis conception, alas, rules them, and not a fond heart.
Sad is the sway of conception, from thousandfold varying figures,
Needy and empty but one it is e'er able to bring.
But where creative beauty is ruling, there life and enjoyment
Dwell; to the ne'er-changing One, thousands of new forms she gives.

Friedrich Schiller
