Jean Paul
Nations and men are only the best when they are the gladdest, and deserve heaven when they enjoy it.
Jean Paul
Despair is the only genuine atheism.
Jean Paul
feelings of man are always pure and the brightest to the meeting time and Farewell.
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

Jean Paul

Jean Paul
Like the greatest virtue and the worst dogs, the fiercest hatred is silent.
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
Passion makes the best observations and the sorriest conclusions.
Jean Paul
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
Every man regards his own life as the New Year's Eve of time.
Jean Paul
