Jean Paul
A man never discloses his own character so clearly as when he describes another's.
Paul quotes
Do not wait for extraordinary circumstances to do good; try to use ordinary situations.
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.
