Image
Humanity is never so beautiful as when praying for forgiveness, or else forgiving another.
Jean Paul
Image
In later life, as in earlier, only a few persons influence the formation of our character the multitude pass us by like a distant army. One friend, one teacher, one beloved, one club, one dining table, one work table are the means by which one's nation and the spirit of one's nation affect the individual.
Jean Paul
Image
Remembrances last longer than present realities.
Jean Paul
Image
In women everything is heart, even the head.
Jean Paul
Image
If self-knowledge is the road to virtue, so is virtue still more the road to self-knowledge.
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
What a father says to his children is not heard by the world, but it will be heard by posterity.
Jean Paul
Image
A timid person is frightened before a danger, a coward during the time, and a courageous person afterward.
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
Poverty is the only load which is the heavier the more loved ones there are to assist in bearing it.
Jean Paul
Image
Romanticism is beauty without bounds-the beautiful infinite.
Jean Paul
Image
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
Image
Each departed friend is a magnet that attracts us to the next world.
Jean Paul
Image
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
Image
Nations and men are only the best when they are the gladdest, and deserve heaven when they enjoy it.
Jean Paul
Image
Memory, wit, fancy, acuteness, cannot grow young again in old age, but the heart can.
Jean Paul
Image
Like the greatest virtue and the worst dogs, the fiercest hatred is silent.
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
Joy descends gently upon us like the evening dew, and does not patter down like a hailstorm.
Jean Paul
Image
Music is moonlight in the gloomy night of life.
