More quotes by Jean Paul
As winter strips the leaves from around us, so that we may see the distant regions they formerly concealed, so old age takes away our enjoyments only to enlarge the prospect of the coming eternity.
Jean Paul

Jean Paul
Only deeds give strength to life, only moderation gives it charm.
Jean Paul
What a father says to his children is not heard by the world, but it will be heard by posterity.
Jean Paul
The burden of suffering seems a tombstone hung about our necks, while in reality it is only the weight which is necessary to keep down the diver while he is hunting for pearls.
Jean Paul
A timid person is frightened before a danger, a coward during the time, and a courageous person afterward.
Jean Paul
It is not the end of joy that makes old age so sad, but the end of hope.
Jean Paul
A variety of nothing is superior to a monotony of something.
Jean Paul
It is easier and handier for men to flatter than to praise.
Jean Paul
Music is moonlight in the gloomy night of life.
Jean Paul
For no one does life drag more disagreeably than for those who try to speed it up.
Jean Paul
Art is indeed not the bread but the wine of life.
Jean Paul
Romanticism is beauty without bounds-the beautiful infinite.
Jean Paul
It is simpler and easier to flatter people than to praise them.
Jean Paul
I have made as much out of myself as could be made of the stuff, and no man should require more.
Jean Paul
Joy descends gently upon us like the evening dew, and does not patter down like a hailstorm.
Jean Paul
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
Man has here two and a half minutes-one to smile, one to sigh, and a half to love: for in the midst of this minute he dies.
Jean Paul
As a man grows older it is harder and harder to frighten him.
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
