Friedrich Schiller

10 November 1759 – 9 May 1805 / Marbach, Württemberg

Political Precept

All that thou doest is right; but, friend, don't carry this precept
On too far,--be content, all that is right to effect.
It is enough to true zeal, if what is existing be perfect;
False zeal always would find finished perfection at once.
