More quotes by Jean Paul
Love lessens woman's delicacy and increases man's.
Jean Paul
Each departed friend is a magnet that attracts us to the next world.
Jean Paul
Sorrows are like thunderclouds, in the distance they look black, over our heads scarcely gray.
Jean Paul
A timid person is frightened before a danger, a coward during the time, and a courageous person afterward.
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
No heroine can create a hero through love of one, but she can give birth to one
Jean Paul
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
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
Nations and men are only the best when they are the gladdest, and deserve heaven when they enjoy it.
Jean Paul
Individuality is to be preserved and respected everywhere, as the root of everything good.
Jean Paul
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.
Jean Paul
What a father says to his children is not heard by the world, but it will be heard by posterity.
Jean Paul
Passion makes the best observations and the sorriest conclusions.
Jean Paul
The German language is the organ among the languages.
Jean Paul
Joy descends gently upon us like the evening dew, and does not patter down like a hailstorm.
Jean Paul
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
Romanticism is beauty without bounds-the beautiful infinite.
Jean Paul
Variety of mere nothings gives more pleasure than uniformity of something.
Jean Paul
Only deeds give strength to life, only moderation gives it charm.
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
