Analysis of Wisdom And Prudence
Friedrich Schiller 1759 (Marbach am Neckar) – 1805 (Weimar)
Wouldst thou, my friend, mount up to the highest summit of wisdom,
Be not deterred by the fear, prudence thy course may deride
That shortsighted one sees but the bank that from thee is flying,
Not the one which ere long thou wilt attain with bold flight.
