Image
Like the greatest virtue and the worst dogs, the fiercest hatred is silent.
Jean Paul
Image
Art is indeed not the bread but the wine of life.
Jean Paul
Image
It is simpler and easier to flatter people than to praise them.
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
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
Image
Each departed friend is a magnet that attracts us to the next world.
Jean Paul
Image
The look of a king is itself a deed.
Jean Paul
Image
What a father says to his children is not heard by the world, but it will be heard by posterity.
Jean Paul
Image
Poverty is the only load which is the heavier the more loved ones there are to assist in bearing it.
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
Only deeds give strength to life, only moderation gives it charm.
Jean Paul
Image
Sorrows are like thunderclouds, in the distance they look black, over our heads scarcely gray.
Jean Paul
Image
It is not the end of joy that makes old age so sad, but the end of hope.
Jean Paul
Image
Age doesn't matter, unless your cheese.
Jean Paul
Image
Variety of mere nothings gives more pleasure than uniformity of something.
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
A sky full of silent suns.
Jean Paul
Image
Music is moonlight in the gloomy night of life.
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
Joy descends gently upon us like the evening dew, and does not patter down like a hailstorm.
Jean Paul
