Image
The conscience of children is formed by the influences that surround them their notions of good and evil are the result of the moral atmosphere they breathe.
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.

Image
It is simpler and easier to flatter people than to praise them.
Jean Paul
Image
Music is moonlight in the gloomy night of life.
Jean Paul

Paradise is always where love dwells.

Image
Poverty is the only load which is the heavier the more loved ones there are to assist in bearing it.
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
The heart needs not for its heaven much space, nor many stars therein, if only the star of love has arisen.
Jean Paul
Image
Art is indeed not the bread but the wine of life.
Jean Paul
Image
A sky full of silent suns.
Jean Paul
Image
A scholar knows no boredom.
Jean Paul
Image
Ah! The seasons of love roll not backward but onward, downward forever.
Jean Paul
Image
As a man grows older it is harder and harder to frighten him.
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
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
