Original text (German)
No cause has he to say his doom is harsh,
Who's made the master of his destiny.
He who has done his best for his own time has lived for all times.
All Friedrich Schiller quotes →
Reading maketh a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an exact man.
The free-lance writer is a man who is paid per piece or per word or perhaps.
Three sleepless nights I passed in sounding on,
Through words and things, a dim and perilous way.
