4. Хочешь себя изучить — посмотри на людей и дела их.
Хочешь людей изучить — в сердце к себе загляни.
4. If you would study yourself, look at people and their deeds.
If you would study people, look into your own heart.

The words shown were found, word for word, in the saved source text. "Der Schlüssel", a distich of the Tabulae votivae, Musen-Almanach für das Jahr 1797 ("Votivtafeln" in Schiller's Gedichte), Musen-Almanach für das Jahr 1797, Tabulae votivae (pp. 152-182), p. 158 by Wikisource's page image; Bowring, Votive Tablets, "The Key".
The whole distich, closely, in two lines as Schiller wrote it: would you know yourself, see how the others act; would you understand the others, look into your own heart. "How the others carry on" becomes "people and their deeds". The English is from the second, revised edition (1874) of Bowring's Poems of Schiller, which prints it among the Votive Tablets.
7. Трудно различить голос истины среди криков возбужденных партий.
7. It is hard to make out the voice of truth amid the cries of agitated parties.
From Geschichte des dreyßigjährigen Kriegs · close to the original (more).
Original · GermanWarum belästigte sie noch das Land, in dem sie stand?
Schwer ist es, aus dem Geschrey erhizter Partheyen die Stimme der Wahrheit zu unterscheiden – aber bedenklich war es, daß die Ligue sich nicht entwaffnete.
Source text: de.wikisource.orgIn English · A. J. W. Morrison, 1846Why, then, still burden the country with his presence?
It is difficult, amidst the uproar of contending parties, to distinguish the voice of truth; but certainly it was matter for alarm that the League did not lay down its arms.

The words shown were found, word for word, in the saved source text. Geschichte des dreyßigjährigen Kriegs (1791–1793), Book II, Book II, on Tilly's army staying in Lower Saxony; Wikisource text of the Frankfurt and Leipzig printing of 1792, p. 132; Morrison (1846), Book II.
The first half of Schiller's sentence, closely: it is hard to tell the voice of truth from the clamor of heated parties. Schiller writes it of the Protestants' suspicions in the early 1620s, when Tilly's army of the Catholic League stayed on Lower Saxon soil with no enemy left in the field, and goes on: “but it was alarming that the League did not disarm” (aber bedenklich war es, daß die Ligue sich nicht entwaffnete). Tolstoy takes the general clause alone; «возбужденных» (excited) renders “erhizter” (heated). The Jubilee list of the Circle's sources names Posrednik's «Избранные мысли Шиллера и Лессинга», vol. I (1903), not found online, which may be the route. Morrison's English (1846) makes the parties “contending”.
8. Не привыкай к благоденствию — оно преходяще: кто владеет — учись терять, кто счастлив — учись страдать.
8. Do not grow used to prosperity — it passes. You who possess, learn to lose; you who are happy, learn to suffer.
From Die Braut von Messina · close to the original (more).
Original · GermanNicht an die Güter hänge dein Herz, Die das Leben vergänglich zieren! Wer besitzt, der lerne verlieren, Wer im Glück ist, der lerne den Schmerz.
Source text: gutenberg.orgIn English · A. Lodge, 1841Nor prize the fleeting goods in vain, The flowers that bloom but to decay! Nor wealth, nor joy, nor aught but pain, Was e'er to mortal's lot secure:-- Our first best lesson--to endure!

The words shown were found, word for word, in the saved source text. Die Braut von Messina (1803), Act IV, scene 4 (act division from Schiller's Hamburg stage manuscript, as in the Gutenberg text; the 1803 edition has none), first chorus (Cajetan), end of his last strophe.
Verse turned into prose: "do not hang your heart on the goods that adorn life fleetingly" becomes "do not grow used to prosperity, it is fleeting"; the closing antithesis is kept exactly. Lodge paraphrases freely and loses the antithesis.
7. Мерилом справедливости не может быть большинство голосов.
7. A majority of votes cannot be the measure of justice.
From Demetrius · shortened by Tolstoy (more).
Original · GermanMehrheit ist der Unsinn, Verstand ist stets bei wen'gen nur gewesen.
Man soll die Stimmen wägen und nicht zählen; …

The words shown were found, word for word, in the saved source text. Demetrius (fragment, 1805), Act I (the Polish Diet), Sapieha's speech, Act I.
Tolstoy reduces Sapieha's speech to its maxim: majority of votes cannot be the measure of justice ("voices should be weighed, not counted"). Possibly via the Posrednik "Selected thoughts of Schiller and Lessing" (1903). The speaker is a character, not Schiller in his own voice.
