More quotes by 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
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
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
Romanticism is beauty without bounds-the beautiful infinite.
Jean Paul
Because the heart beats under a covering of hair, of fur, feathers, or wings, it is, for that reason, to be of no account?
Jean Paul
The look of a king is itself a deed.
Jean Paul
Paradise is always where love dwells.
Jean Paul
People will not bear it when advice is violently given, even if it is well founded. Hearts are flowers they remain open to the softly falling dew, but shut up in the violent downpour of rain.
Jean Paul
Ah! The seasons of love roll not backward but onward, downward forever.
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
Every man has a rainy corner of his life whence comes foul weather which follows him.
Jean Paul
Art is indeed not the bread but the wine of life.
Jean Paul
A timid person is frightened before a danger, a coward during the time, and a courageous person afterward.
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
Individuality is to be preserved and respected everywhere, as the root of everything good.
Jean Paul
Poverty is the only load which is the heavier the more loved ones there are to assist in bearing it.
Jean Paul
The German language is the organ among the languages.
Jean Paul
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
It is not the end of joy that makes old age so sad, but the end of hope.
Jean Paul
Memory, wit, fancy, acuteness, cannot grow young again in old age, but the heart can.
Jean Paul
