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

Variety of mere nothings gives more pleasure than uniformity of something.

Jean Paul 142 quotes

Never write on a subject until you have read yourself full of it.

Jean Paul 142 quotes

We learn our virtues from our...

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 142 quotes

There are souls which fall from heaven like flowers, but ere they bloom are crushed under the foul tread of some brutal hoof.

Jean Paul 142 quotes

Woman and men of retiring timidity are cowardly only in dangers which affect themselves, but the first to rescue when others are in danger.

Jean Paul 142 quotes

Recollection is the only paradise from which we cannot be turned out.

Jean Paul 142 quotes

Never write on a subject with...

Never write on a subject without first having read yourself full on it; and never read on a subject till you have thought yourself hungry on it.

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 142 quotes

It has been jestingly said that the works of John Paul Richter are almost unintelligible to any but the Germans, and even to some of them. A worthy German, just before Richter's death, edited a complete edition of his works, in which one particular passage fairly puzzled him. Determined to have it explained at the source, he went to John Paul himself. The author's reply was very characteristic: "My good friend, when I wrote that passage, God and I knew what it meant; it is possible that God knows it still; but as for me, I have totally forgotten."

Each departed friend is a magnet that attracts us to the next world.

Sleep, riches, and health, to be truly enjoyed, must be interrupted.

Jean Paul 142 quotes

What makes old age so sad is,...

What makes old age so sad is, not that our joys, but that our hopes then cease.

Passion makes the best observations and the sorriest conclusions.

Jean Paul 142 quotes

See, indeed, that your daughter is thoroughly grounded and experienced in household duties; but take care, through religion and poetry, to keep her heart open to heaven.

Jean Paul 142 quotes

The last, best fruit which co...

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 142 quotes

If self-knowledge is the road to virtue, so is virtue still more the road to self-knowledge.

Jean Paul 142 quotes

Only deeds give strength to life, only moderation gives it charm.

Jean Paul 142 quotes

In later life, as in earlier,...

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 142 quotes

Without God there is for mank...

Without God there is for mankind no purpose, no goal, no hope, only a wavering future, an eternal dread of every darkness.
