Image
Passion makes the best observations and the sorriest conclusions.
Jean Paul
Image
Paradise is always where love dwells.
Jean Paul
Image
With so many thousand joys, is it not black ingratitude to call the world a place of sorrow and torment?
Jean Paul
Image
A variety of nothing is superior to a monotony of something.
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
The look of a king is itself a deed.
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
It is not the end of joy that makes old age so sad, but the end of hope.
Jean Paul

Jean Paul
Image
For no one does life drag more disagreeably than for those who try to speed it up.
Jean Paul
Image
Despair is the only genuine atheism.
Jean Paul
Image
Like a morning dream, life becomes more and more bright the longer we live, and the reason of everything appears more clear. What has puzzled us before seems less mysterious, and the crooked paths look straighter as we approach the end.
Jean Paul
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
Music is moonlight in the gloomy night of life.
Jean Paul
Image
The conscience of children is formed by the influences that surround them their notions of good and evil are the result of the moral atmosphere they breathe.
Jean Paul
Image
What a father says to his children is not heard by the world, but it will be heard by posterity.
Jean Paul
Image
Joy descends gently upon us like the evening dew, and does not patter down like a hailstorm.
Jean Paul
