Image
It is not the end of joy that makes old age so sad, but the end of hope.
Jean Paul
Image
A scholar knows no boredom.
Jean Paul
Image
Nations and men are only the best when they are the gladdest, and deserve heaven when they enjoy it.
Jean Paul
Image
He thought of the mouldering child, which laid its withered thin arms around his soul, as if it were his own, and to whom Death had given as much as a god gave to Endymion, — sleep, eternal youth, and immortality.
Jean Paul
Image
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
Image
Every man regards his own life as the New Year's Eve of time.
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
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
Image
It is easier and handier for men to flatter than to praise.
Jean Paul
Image
Paradise is always where love dwells.
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
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
Image
For no one does life drag more disagreeably than for those who try to speed it up.
Jean Paul
Image
Sorrows are like thunderclouds, in the distance they look black, over our heads scarcely gray.
Jean Paul
Image
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
Image
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
Image
A timid person is frightened before a danger, a coward during the time, and a courageous person afterward.
Jean Paul
Image
The romance of life begins and ends with two blank pages. Age and extreme old age.
Jean Paul
Image
Only deeds give strength to life, only moderation gives it charm.
Jean Paul
Image
With so many thousand joys, is it not black ingratitude to call the world a place of sorrow and torment?
Jean Paul
