Schiller, Friedrich von

Providence gives chance - For the purpose / Man must shape it

Because the eye of the law is watching

Because the sea is the space of hope / And the capricious realm of coincidences

For the hunt is a parable of battles, / The merry bride of the grave god of war

Because the gods of revenge create in silence

For whoever does not bear the yoke of the Lord / Must not adorn himself with his cross

The farmer is also a human being - so to speak

The good man thinks of himself last

The wise man builds ahead

The man must go / Into hostile life

Man needs little and is rich in life / Is nature

Man was created free, is free / And if he were born in chains

The Moor has done his work, the Moor can go

It is courage that honors the knight

Obeying necessity, not one's own instinct

The ring makes marriages, / And it is rings that make a chain

The strong are mightiest alone
