Jean Paul
Image
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
Image
Memory, wit, fancy, acuteness, cannot grow young again in old age, but the heart can.
Jean Paul
Image
