Image
Like the greatest virtue and the worst dogs, the fiercest hatred is silent.
Jean Paul
Image
Recollection is the only paradise from which we cannot be turned out.
Jean Paul
Image
Like a morning dream, life becomes more and more bright the longer we live, and the reason of everything appears more clear. What has puzzled us before seems less mysterious, and the crooked paths look straighter as we approach the end.
Jean Paul
Image
No heroine can create a hero through love of one, but she can give birth to one
Jean Paul
Image
Ah! The seasons of love roll not backward but onward, downward forever.
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
Sorrows gather around great souls as storms do around mountains but, like them, they break the storm and purify the air of the plain beneath them.
Jean Paul
Image
The words that a father speaks to his children in the privacy of home are not heard by the world, but, as in whispering galleries, they are clearly heard at the end, and by posterity.
Jean Paul
Image
Passion makes the best observations and the sorriest conclusions.
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
Remembrances last longer than present realities.
Jean Paul
Image
Sorrows are like thunderclouds, in the distance they look black, over our heads scarcely gray.
Jean Paul
Image
Variety of mere nothings gives more pleasure than uniformity of something.
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
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
A variety of nothing is superior to a monotony of something.
Jean Paul
Image
The heart needs not for its heaven much space, nor many stars therein, if only the star of love has arisen.
Jean Paul
Image
The German language is the organ among the languages.
Jean Paul
Image
The happiness of life consists, like the day, not in single flashes (of light), but in one continuous mild serenity. 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
Image
The last, best fruit which comes to late perfection, even in the kindliest soul, is tenderness toward the hard, forbearance toward the unforbearing, warmth of heart toward the cold, philanthropy toward the misanthropic.
Jean Paul
