Jean Paul
Image
Every man has a rainy corner of his life whence comes foul weather which follows him.
Jean Paul

Jean Paul
Image

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.

Joy descends gently upon us like the evening dew, and does not patter down like a hailstorm.
Jean Paul
Image
Sorrows are like thunderclouds, in the distance they look black, over our heads scarcely gray.
Jean Paul
Image
If self-knowledge is the road to virtue, so is virtue still more the road to self-knowledge.
Jean Paul
Image
feelings of man are always pure and the brightest to the meeting time and Farewell.
Jean Paul
Image
Nations and men are only the best when they are the gladdest, and deserve heaven when they enjoy it.
Jean Paul
Image
Only deeds give strength to life, only moderation gives it charm.
Jean Paul
Image
No heroine can create a hero through love of one, but she can give birth to one
Jean Paul
