Image
It is not the end of joy that makes old age so sad, but the end of hope.
Jean Paul
Image
Memory, wit, fancy, acuteness, cannot grow young again in old age, but the heart can.
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
Recollection is the only paradise from which we cannot be turned out.
Jean Paul
Image
Jesus is the purest among the mighty, and the mightiest among the pure, who, with his pierced hand has raised empires from their foundations, turned the stream of history from its old channel, and still continues to rule and guide the ages

Age doesn't matter, unless your cheese.
Jean Paul
Image
A scholar knows no boredom.
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
Because the heart beats under a covering of hair, of fur, feathers, or wings, it is, for that reason, to be of no account?
Jean Paul
Image
A timid person is frightened before a danger, a coward during the time, and a courageous person afterward.
Jean Paul
Image
Music is moonlight in the gloomy night of life.
Jean Paul
Image
Each departed friend is a magnet that attracts us to the next world.
Jean Paul
Image
Never part without loving words to think of during your absence. It may be that you will not meet again in this life.
Jean Paul
Image
Remembrances last longer than present realities.
Jean Paul
Image
As a man grows older it is harder and harder to frighten him.
Jean Paul
Image
Joy descends gently upon us like the evening dew, and does not patter down like a hailstorm.
Jean Paul
