Friedrich Schiller quotes about

The key to education is the experience of beauty.

Truth lives on in the midst of deception....
I am better than my reputation
Forgiveness is the divinest of victories.
Obedience is the Christian's crown.
Obedience decks the Christian most.
The universe is one of God's thoughts.
Misery travels free through the whole world!
