Repetition is the mother of education.
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.

Music is moonlight in the gloomy night of life.
Jean Paul
Image
The romance of life begins and ends with two blank pages. Age and extreme old age.
