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
Jean Paul
Image
We learn our virtues from our friends who love us our faults from the enemy who hates us. We cannot easily discover our real character from a friend. He is a mirror, on which the warmth of our breath impedes the clearness of the reflection.
Jean Paul
Image
A scholar knows no boredom.
Jean Paul
Image
Music is moonlight in the gloomy night of life.
Jean Paul
Image
Art is indeed not the bread but the wine of life.
Jean Paul
Image
It is not the end of joy that makes old age so sad, but the end of hope.
Jean Paul
Image
Like the greatest virtue and the worst dogs, the fiercest hatred is silent.
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
Paradise is always where love dwells.
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
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
Poverty is the only load which is the heavier the more loved ones there are to assist in bearing it.
Jean Paul
Image
Humanity is never so beautiful as when praying for forgiveness, or else forgiving another.
Jean Paul
Image
I would rather dwell in the dim fog of superstition than in air rarefied to nothing by the air-pump of unbelief-in which the panting breast expires, vainly and convulsively gasping for breath.
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
Every friend is to the other a sun, and a sunflower also. He attracts and follows.
Jean Paul
Image
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
Image
It is easier and handier for men to flatter than to praise.
Jean Paul
Image
Joy descends gently upon us like the evening dew, and does not patter down like a hailstorm.
Jean Paul
