Image
Sorrows gather around great souls as storms do around mountains but, like them, they break the storm and purify the air of the plain beneath them.
Jean Paul
Image
Love lessens woman's delicacy and increases man's.
Jean Paul
Image
We learn our virtues from our friends who love us our faults from the enemy who hates us. We cannot easily discover our real character from a friend. He is a mirror, on which the warmth of our breath impedes the clearness of the reflection.
Jean Paul
Image
It is not the end of joy that makes old age so sad, but the end of hope.
Jean Paul
Image
No heroine can create a hero through love of one, but she can give birth to one
Jean Paul

A sky full of silent suns.

Image
What a father says to his children is not heard by the world, but it will be heard by posterity.
Jean Paul
Image
Courage consists not in blindly overlooking danger, but in seeing it, and conquering it.
Jean Paul
Image
The happiness of life consists, like the day, not in single flashes (of light), but in one continuous mild serenity. The most beautiful period of the heart's existence is in this calm equable light, even although it be only moonshine or twilight. Now the mind alone can obtain for us this heavenly cheerfulness and peace.
Jean Paul
Image
Recollection is the only paradise from which we cannot be turned out.
Jean Paul
Image
Humanity is never so beautiful as when praying for forgiveness, or else forgiving another.
Jean Paul
Image
The German language is the organ among the languages.
Jean Paul
Image
The heart needs not for its heaven much space, nor many stars therein, if only the star of love has arisen.
Jean Paul
Image
Because the heart beats under a covering of hair, of fur, feathers, or wings, it is, for that reason, to be of no account?
Jean Paul
Image
The words that a father speaks to his children in the privacy of home are not heard by the world, but, as in whispering galleries, they are clearly heard at the end, and by posterity.
Jean Paul
Image
A variety of nothing is superior to a monotony of something.
Jean Paul
Image
Only deeds give strength to life, only moderation gives it charm.
Jean Paul
Image
Paradise is always where love dwells.
Jean Paul
Image
I have made as much out of myself as could be made of the stuff, and no man should require more.
Jean Paul
Image
Joy descends gently upon us like the evening dew, and does not patter down like a hailstorm.
Jean Paul
