Analysis of Germany And Her Princes
Friedrich Schiller 1759 (Marbach am Neckar) – 1805 (Weimar)
Thou hast produced mighty monarchs, of whom thou art not unworthy,
For the obedient alone make him who governs them great.
But, O Germany, try if thou for thy rulers canst make it
Harder as kings to be great,--easier, though, to be men!
