Friedrich von Schiller Quotes on Virtue
-
Virtue is no empty echo.
-
Joy from truth's own glass of fire Sweetly on the searcher smiles; Lest on virtue's steeps he tire, Joy the tedious path beguiles. High on faith's bright hill before us, See her banner proudly wave! Joy, too, swells the angels' chorus,- Bursts the bondage of the grave!
-
Courage, ne'er by sorrow broken! Aid where tears of virtue flow; Faith to keep each promise spoken! Truth alike to friend and foe!
-
Virtue has her heroes too As well as Fame and Fortune.
-
Truth suffers no loss if a vehement youth fails in finding it, in the same way that virtue and religion suffer no detriment if a criminal denies them.
-
A noble heart will always capitulate to reason.
-
To gain a crown by fighting is great, to reject it divine.
