More quotes by Jean Paul
Age doesn't matter, unless your cheese.
Jean Paul

Jean Paul
The romance of life begins and ends with two blank pages. Age and extreme old age.
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
The heart needs not for its heaven much space, nor many stars therein, if only the star of love has arisen.
Jean Paul

Jean Paul
Passion makes the best observations and the sorriest conclusions.
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
A sky full of silent suns.
Jean Paul
If self-knowledge is the road to virtue, so is virtue still more the road to self-knowledge.
Jean Paul
For no one does life drag more disagreeably than for those who try to speed it up.
Jean Paul
Ah! The seasons of love roll not backward but onward, downward forever.
Jean Paul
Every friend is to the other a sun, and a sunflower also. He attracts and follows.
Jean Paul
Only deeds give strength to life, only moderation gives it charm.
Jean Paul
The look of a king is itself a deed.
Jean Paul
