Two aged men, that had been foes for life, Met by a grave, and wept - and in those tears They washed away the memory of their strife; Then wept again the loss of all those years.

Whenever, at a party, I have been in the mood to study fools, I have always looked for a great beauty: they always gather round her like flies around a fruit stall.

Nothing is more beautiful than cheerfulness in an old face.

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.

The purer the golden vessel, the more readily is it bent; the higher worth of woman is sooner lost than that of man.

Paradise is always where love dwells.

Jean Paul 142 quotes

A woman who could always love ...

A woman who could always love would never grow old; and the love of mother and wife would often give or preserve many charms if it were not too often combined with parental and conjugal anger. There remains in the face of women who are naturally serene and peaceful, and of those rendered so by religion, an after-spring, and later an after-summer, the reflex of their most beautiful bloom.

Jean Paul 142 quotes

In science the new is an advan...

In science the new is an advance; but in morals, as contradicting our inner ideals and historic idols, it is ever a retrogression.

Jean Paul 142 quotes

It is easier and handier for men to flattery than to praise.

Jean Paul 142 quotes

I would rather dwell in the dim fog of superstition than in air rarefied to nothing by the air-pump of unbelief-in which the panting breast expires, vainly and convulsively gasping for breath.

Jean Paul 142 quotes

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

Universal love is a glove with...

Universal love is a glove without fingers, which fits all bands alike and none closely; but true affection is like a glove with fingers, which fits one hand only, and sits close to that one.

Jean Paul 142 quotes

The happiness of life consists...

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.
