Ah! The seasons of love roll not backward but onward, downward forever.
Jean Paul

Now the mind alone can obtain for us this heavenly cheerfulness and peace.

Jean Paul
Image
As a man grows older it is harder and harder to frighten him.
Jean Paul
Image
The burden of suffering seems a tombstone hung about our necks, while in reality it is only the weight which is necessary to keep down the diver while he is hunting for pearls.
Jean Paul
Image
For sleep, riches and health to be truly enjoyed and gratefully appreciated, they must be interrupted so the person can see that not having them is not as good as having them.
Jean Paul
Image
People will not bear it when advice is violently given, even if it is well founded. Hearts are flowers they remain open to the softly falling dew, but shut up in the violent downpour of rain.
Jean Paul
Image
feelings of man are always pure and the brightest to the meeting time and Farewell.
Jean Paul
Image
Man has here two and a half minutes-one to smile, one to sigh, and a half to love: for in the midst of this minute he dies.
