Jean Paul

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
Courage consists not in blindly overlooking danger, but in seeing it, and conquering it.
Jean Paul
Art is indeed not the bread but the wine of life.
Jean Paul
Memory, wit, fancy, acuteness, cannot grow young again in old age, but the heart can.
Jean Paul
The German language is the organ among the languages.
