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.

More quotes by Jean Paul
Joy descends gently upon us like the evening dew, and does not patter down like a hailstorm.
Jean Paul
Memory, wit, fancy, acuteness, cannot grow young again in old age, but the heart can.
Jean Paul
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
People will not bear it when advice is violently given, even if it is well founded. Hearts are flowers they remain open to the softly falling dew, but shut up in the violent downpour of rain.
Jean Paul
It is simpler and easier to flatter people than to praise them.
Jean Paul
Individuality is to be preserved and respected everywhere, as the root of everything good.
Jean Paul
Despair is the only genuine atheism.
Jean Paul
Art is indeed not the bread but the wine of life.
Jean Paul
Sorrows are like thunderclouds, in the distance they look black, over our heads scarcely gray.
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
Man has here two and a half minutes-one to smile, one to sigh, and a half to love: for in the midst of this minute he dies.
Jean Paul
The romance of life begins and ends with two blank pages. Age and extreme old age.
Jean Paul
Romanticism is beauty without bounds-the beautiful infinite.
Jean Paul
A variety of nothing is superior to a monotony of something.
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
Passion makes the best observations and the sorriest conclusions.
Jean Paul
As a man grows older it is harder and harder to frighten him.
Jean Paul
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
Music is moonlight in the gloomy night of life.
Jean Paul
Paradise is always where love dwells.
Jean Paul
