More quotes by Jean Paul

Jean Paul
It is simpler and easier to flatter people than to praise them.
Jean Paul
What a father says to his children is not heard by the world, but it will be heard by posterity.
Jean Paul
Remembrances last longer than present realities.
Jean Paul
Music is moonlight in the gloomy night of life.
Jean Paul
Nations and men are only the best when they are the gladdest, and deserve heaven when they enjoy it.
Jean Paul

Jean Paul
No heroine can create a hero through love of one, but she can give birth to one
Jean Paul
A timid person is frightened before a danger, a coward during the time, and a courageous person afterward.
Jean Paul

Jean Paul

Jean Paul
The look of a king is itself a deed.
Jean Paul
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
Like a morning dream, life becomes more and more bright the longer we live, and the reason of everything appears more clear. What has puzzled us before seems less mysterious, and the crooked paths look straighter as we approach the end.
Jean Paul
Art is indeed not the bread but the wine of life.
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
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
