More quotes by Jean Paul

Jean Paul
With so many thousand joys, is it not black ingratitude to call the world a place of sorrow and torment?

Jean Paul

Jean Paul
Poverty is the only load which is the heavier the more loved ones there are to assist in bearing it.
Jean Paul
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
Recollection is the only paradise from which we cannot be turned out.
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
The heart needs not for its heaven much space, nor many stars therein, if only the star of love has arisen.
Jean Paul
Every man has a rainy corner of his life whence comes foul weather which follows him.
Jean Paul
