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
Each departed friend is a magnet that attracts us to the next world.
Jean Paul
He thought of the mouldering child, which laid its withered thin arms around his soul, as if it were his own, and to whom Death had given as much as a god gave to Endymion, — sleep, eternal youth, and immortality.
Jean Paul
Despair is the only genuine atheism.
Jean Paul
It is not the end of joy that makes old age so sad, but the end of hope.
Jean Paul
The conscience of children is formed by the influences that surround them their notions of good and evil are the result of the moral atmosphere they breathe.
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
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
For no one does life drag more disagreeably than for those who try to speed it up.
Jean Paul
Every friend is to the other a sun, and a sunflower also. He attracts and follows.
Jean Paul
Remembrances last longer than present realities.
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
What a father says to his children is not heard by the world, but it will be heard by posterity.
Jean Paul
In women everything is heart, even the head.
Jean Paul
We learn our virtues from our friends who love us our faults from the enemy who hates us. We cannot easily discover our real character from a friend. He is a mirror, on which the warmth of our breath impedes the clearness of the reflection.
Jean Paul
It is easier and handier for men to flatter than to praise.
Jean Paul
A timid person is frightened before a danger, a coward during the time, and a courageous person afterward.
Jean Paul
No heroine can create a hero through love of one, but she can give birth to one
Jean Paul
A scholar knows no boredom.
Jean Paul
Love lessens woman's delicacy and increases man's.
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
