Jean Paul
Image
Romanticism is beauty without bounds-the beautiful infinite.
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
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
feelings of man are always pure and the brightest to the meeting time and Farewell.
Jean Paul
Image
Courage consists not in blindly overlooking danger, but in seeing it, and conquering it.
Jean Paul
Image
The romance of life begins and ends with two blank pages. Age and extreme old age.
Jean Paul
