Individuality is to be preserved and respected everywhere, as the root of everything good.
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.

Jean Paul
Image
Music is moonlight in the gloomy night of life.
Jean Paul
Image
Like the greatest virtue and the worst dogs, the fiercest hatred is silent.
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 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
Image
A variety of nothing is superior to a monotony of something.
Jean Paul
Image
A timid person is frightened before a danger, a coward during the time, and a courageous person afterward.
Jean Paul
Image
The words that a father speaks to his children in the privacy of home are not heard by the world, but, as in whispering galleries, they are clearly heard at the end, and by posterity.
Jean Paul
