More quotes by Jean Paul

Image
As winter strips the leaves from around us, so that we may see the distant regions they formerly concealed, so old age takes away our enjoyments only to enlarge the prospect of the coming eternity.
Jean Paul
Image
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
Image
Remembrances last longer than present realities.
Jean Paul
Image
Because the heart beats under a covering of hair, of fur, feathers, or wings, it is, for that reason, to be of no account?
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
For sleep, riches and health to be truly enjoyed and gratefully appreciated, they must be interrupted so the person can see that not having them is not as good as having them.
Jean Paul
Image
Humanity is never so beautiful as when praying for forgiveness, or else forgiving another.
Jean Paul
Image
Only deeds give strength to life, only moderation gives it charm.
Jean Paul
Image
Beauty attracts us men but if, like an armed magnet it is pointed, beside, with gold and silver, it attracts with tenfold power.
Jean Paul

Sorrows are like thunderclouds, in the distance they look black, over our heads scarcely gray.
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
A scholar knows no boredom.
Jean Paul
Image
The romance of life begins and ends with two blank pages. Age and extreme old age.
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
In women everything is heart, even the head.
Jean Paul
Image
Repetition is the mother of education.
Jean Paul
Image
The burden of suffering seems a tombstone hung about our necks, while in reality it is only the weight which is necessary to keep down the diver while he is hunting for pearls.
Jean Paul
Image
Passion makes the best observations and the sorriest conclusions.
Jean Paul
Image
Romanticism is beauty without bounds-the beautiful infinite.
Jean Paul
Image
It is not the end of joy that makes old age so sad, but the end of hope.
Jean Paul
