More quotes by Jean Paul

Jean Paul
Age doesn't matter, unless your cheese.
Jean Paul

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
Memory, wit, fancy, acuteness, cannot grow young again in old age, but the heart can.
Jean Paul
For no one does life drag more disagreeably than for those who try to speed it up.
Jean Paul
feelings of man are always pure and the brightest to the meeting time and Farewell.
Jean Paul
Poverty is the only load which is the heavier the more loved ones there are to assist in bearing it.
Jean Paul
Remembrances last longer than present realities.
