Wouldst thou know thyself, observe the actions of others.
Wouldst thou other men know, look thou within thine own heart.

Comments1Just revisited Friedrich von Schiller's "The Key" which I first read in my younger years. I appreciate it so much more now. This piece is still as thought-provoking and introspective, truly a masterpiece of Schiller's craft. It offers us a distinct perspective on self-introspection and understanding others. Beautifully penned, simple yet profound. Highly recommend to anyone who appreciates good literature.
