More quotes by Jean Paul
The German language is the organ among the languages.
Jean Paul
The last, best fruit which comes to late perfection, even in the kindliest soul, is tenderness toward the hard, forbearance toward the unforbearing, warmth of heart toward the cold, philanthropy toward the misanthropic.
Jean Paul
Remembrances last longer than present realities.
Jean Paul
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
Poverty is the only load which is the heavier the more loved ones there are to assist in bearing it.
Jean Paul
Love lessens woman's delicacy and increases man's.
Jean Paul
Sorrows are like thunderclouds, in the distance they look black, over our heads scarcely gray.
Jean Paul
Recollection is the only paradise from which we cannot be turned out.
Jean Paul
Individuality is to be preserved and respected everywhere, as the root of everything good.
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
No heroine can create a hero through love of one, but she can give birth to one
Jean Paul
Like the greatest virtue and the worst dogs, the fiercest hatred is silent.
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
A timid person is frightened before a danger, a coward during the time, and a courageous person afterward.
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
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
What a father says to his children is not heard by the world, but it will be heard by posterity.
Jean Paul
For no one does life drag more disagreeably than for those who try to speed it up.
Jean Paul
Memory, wit, fancy, acuteness, cannot grow young again in old age, but the heart can.
Jean Paul
In women everything is heart, even the head.
Jean Paul
