Schiller"s lines show how undisturbed we may be at the social struggle:
"A full life is what I want, And swinging and swaying, to and fro, Upon the rising and falling waves of fortune.
For a man becomes stunted in quietness of life; Idleness and rest are the grave of energy.
But war develops strength.
It raises all to a level above what is ordinary, It even gives courage to the cowardly."
