More quotes by 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
The German language is the organ among the languages.
Jean Paul
For no one does life drag more disagreeably than for those who try to speed it up.
Jean Paul
Each departed friend is a magnet that attracts us to the next world.
Jean Paul

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

Jean Paul

Jean Paul
The burden of suffering seems a tombstone hung about our necks, while in reality it is only the weight which is necessary to keep down the diver while he is hunting for pearls.
Jean Paul
Because the heart beats under a covering of hair, of fur, feathers, or wings, it is, for that reason, to be of no account?
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
Never part without loving words to think of during your absence. It may be that you will not meet again in this life.
Jean Paul
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
The romance of life begins and ends with two blank pages. Age and extreme old age.
Jean Paul
As a man grows older it is harder and harder to frighten him.
Jean Paul
Memory, wit, fancy, acuteness, cannot grow young again in old age, but the heart can.
Jean Paul
Every friend is to the other a sun, and a sunflower also. He attracts and follows.
