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
I have made as much out of myself as could be made of the stuff, and no man should require more.
Jean Paul

As a man grows older it is harder and harder to frighten him.
Jean Paul

No heroine can create a hero through love of one, but she can give birth to one
Jean Paul

Nations and men are only the best when they are the gladdest, and deserve heaven when they enjoy it.

Image
The look of a king is itself a deed.
Jean Paul
Image
Beauty attracts us men but if, like an armed magnet it is pointed, beside, with gold and silver, it attracts with tenfold power.
Jean Paul
