Image
A sky full of silent suns.
Jean Paul
Image
Despair is the only genuine atheism.
Jean Paul
Image
Sorrows are like thunderclouds, in the distance they look black, over our heads scarcely gray.
Jean Paul
Image
For sleep, riches and health to be truly enjoyed and gratefully appreciated, they must be interrupted so the person can see that not having them is not as good as having them.
Jean Paul
Image
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
Image
Every friend is to the other a sun, and a sunflower also. He attracts and follows.
Jean Paul
Image
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
Image
Ah! The seasons of love roll not backward but onward, downward forever.
Jean Paul
Image
Memory, wit, fancy, acuteness, cannot grow young again in old age, but the heart can.
Jean Paul
Image
A variety of nothing is superior to a monotony of something.
Jean Paul

Recollection is the only paradise from which we cannot be turned out.
Jean Paul
Image
It is simpler and easier to flatter people than to praise them.
Jean Paul
Image
Like the greatest virtue and the worst dogs, the fiercest hatred is silent.
Jean Paul
Image
Each departed friend is a magnet that attracts us to the next world.
Jean Paul
Image
It is not the end of joy that makes old age so sad, but the end of hope.
Jean Paul
Image
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
Image
What a father says to his children is not heard by the world, but it will be heard by posterity.
Jean Paul
Image
I have made as much out of myself as could be made of the stuff, and no man should require more.
Jean Paul
Image
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
Image
It is easier and handier for men to flatter than to praise.
Jean Paul
