More quotes by Jean Paul Richter

Every man has a rainy corner of his life whence comes foul weather which follows him.

Gray hairs seem to my fancy like the soft light of the moon, silvering over the evening of life.

Death gives us sleep, eternal youth, and immortality.

Humanity is never so beautiful as when praying for forgiveness, or else forgiving another.

If a man be gracious and courteous to strangers, it shows he is a citizen of the world.

He who sows courtesy reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love.

The small courtesies sweeten life; the greater ennoble it.

It is wise to apply the oil of refined politeness to the mechanism of friendship.
