More quotes by Jean Paul
In women everything is heart, even the head.
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
Like the greatest virtue and the worst dogs, the fiercest hatred is silent.
Jean Paul
What a father says to his children is not heard by the world, but it will be heard by posterity.
Jean Paul
Every man regards his own life as the New Year's Eve of time.
Jean Paul
If self-knowledge is the road to virtue, so is virtue still more the road to self-knowledge.
Jean Paul
It is easier and handier for men to flatter than to praise.
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
A variety of nothing is superior to a monotony of something.
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
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
The gymnasium of running, walking on stilts, climbing, etc. stells and makes hardy single powers and muscles, but dancing, like a corporeal poesy, embellishes, exercises, and equalizes all the muscles at once.
Jean Paul
For no one does life drag more disagreeably than for those who try to speed it up.
Jean Paul
Age doesn't matter, unless your cheese.
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
Recollection is the only paradise from which we cannot be turned out.
Jean Paul
Every friend is to the other a sun, and a sunflower also. He attracts and follows.
Jean Paul
Music is moonlight in the gloomy night of life.
Jean Paul
Nations and men are only the best when they are the gladdest, and deserve heaven when they enjoy it.
Jean Paul
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
