More quotes by Jean Paul
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
Each departed friend is a magnet that attracts us to the next world.
Jean Paul
The last, best fruit which comes to late perfection, even in the kindliest soul, is tenderness toward the hard, forbearance toward the unforbearing, warmth of heart toward the cold, philanthropy toward the misanthropic.
Jean Paul

Jean Paul
Remembrances last longer than present realities.
Jean Paul
Jesus is the purest among the mighty, and the mightiest among the pure, who, with his pierced hand has raised empires from their foundations, turned the stream of history from its old channel, and still continues to rule and guide the ages
Jean Paul

Jean Paul
The romance of life begins and ends with two blank pages. Age and extreme old age.
Jean Paul
Love lessens woman's delicacy and increases man's.
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
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
Ah! The seasons of love roll not backward but onward, downward forever.
Jean Paul
Recollection is the only paradise from which we cannot be turned out.
Jean Paul
Every friend is to the other a sun, and a sunflower also. He attracts and follows.
Jean Paul
It is not the end of joy that makes old age so sad, but the end of hope.
Jean Paul
