More quotes by Jean Paul

Jean Paul
The look of a king is itself a deed.
Jean Paul
A timid person is frightened before a danger, a coward during the time, and a courageous person afterward.
Jean Paul
Paradise is always where love dwells.
Jean Paul
In women everything is heart, even the head.
Jean Paul
For no one does life drag more disagreeably than for those who try to speed it up.
Jean Paul
As winter strips the leaves from around us, so that we may see the distant regions they formerly concealed, so old age takes away our enjoyments only to enlarge the prospect of the coming eternity.
Jean Paul
The conscience of children is formed by the influences that surround them their notions of good and evil are the result of the moral atmosphere they breathe.
Jean Paul
It is simpler and easier to flatter people than to praise them.
Jean Paul

Jean Paul

Jean Paul

Jean Paul
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
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
The heart needs not for its heaven much space, nor many stars therein, if only the star of love has arisen.
Jean Paul
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
Poverty is the only load which is the heavier the more loved ones there are to assist in bearing it.
Jean Paul
The gymnasium of running, walking on stilts, climbing, etc. stells and makes hardy single powers and muscles, but dancing, like a corporeal poesy, embellishes, exercises, and equalizes all the muscles at once.
Jean Paul
Despair is the only genuine atheism.
Jean Paul
It is easier and handier for men to flatter than to praise.
Jean Paul
