More quotes by Jean Paul
The look of a king is itself a deed.
Jean Paul
People will not bear it when advice is violently given, even if it is well founded. Hearts are flowers they remain open to the softly falling dew, but shut up in the violent downpour of rain.
Jean Paul
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
Paradise is always where love dwells.
Jean Paul
Like the greatest virtue and the worst dogs, the fiercest hatred is silent.
Jean Paul
What a father says to his children is not heard by the world, but it will be heard by posterity.
Jean Paul
It is simpler and easier to flatter people than to praise them.
Jean Paul
As a man grows older it is harder and harder to frighten him.
Jean Paul
Art is indeed not the bread but the wine of life.
Jean Paul
Passion makes the best observations and the sorriest conclusions.
Jean Paul
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
With so many thousand joys, is it not black ingratitude to call the world a place of sorrow and torment?
Jean Paul
The gymnasium of running, walking on stilts, climbing, etc. stells and makes hardy single powers and muscles, but dancing, like a corporeal poesy, embellishes, exercises, and equalizes all the muscles at once.
Jean Paul
Nations and men are only the best when they are the gladdest, and deserve heaven when they enjoy it.
Jean Paul
I would rather dwell in the dim fog of superstition than in air rarefied to nothing by the air-pump of unbelief-in which the panting breast expires, vainly and convulsively gasping for breath.
Jean Paul
He thought of the mouldering child, which laid its withered thin arms around his soul, as if it were his own, and to whom Death had given as much as a god gave to Endymion, — sleep, eternal youth, and immortality.
Jean Paul
Repetition is the mother of education.
Jean Paul
Beauty attracts us men but if, like an armed magnet it is pointed, beside, with gold and silver, it attracts with tenfold power.
Jean Paul
Only deeds give strength to life, only moderation gives it charm.
Jean Paul
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
