More quotes by Jean Paul
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
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
It is easier and handier for men to flatter than to praise.
Jean Paul
Variety of mere nothings gives more pleasure than uniformity of something.
Jean Paul
Only deeds give strength to life, only moderation gives it charm.
Jean Paul
Age doesn't matter, unless your cheese.
Jean Paul
Every man regards his own life as the New Year's Eve of time.
Jean Paul
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
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
For no one does life drag more disagreeably than for those who try to speed it up.
Jean Paul
Repetition is the mother of education.
Jean Paul
Each departed friend is a magnet that attracts us to the next world.
Jean Paul
The look of a king is itself a deed.
Jean Paul
In women everything is heart, even the head.
Jean Paul
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
Romanticism is beauty without bounds-the beautiful infinite.
Jean Paul
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
The romance of life begins and ends with two blank pages. Age and extreme old age.
Jean Paul
Sorrows are like thunderclouds, in the distance they look black, over our heads scarcely gray.
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
