Thou hast produced mighty monarchs, of whom thou art not unworthy, <br /> For the obedient alone make him who governs them great. <br /> But, O Germany, try if thou for thy rulers canst make it <br /> Harder as kings to be great,--easier, though, to be men!<br /><br />Friedrich Schiller<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/germany-and-her-princes/
