More quotes by Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Liberty may be gained, but can never be recovered.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
At length I recollected the thoughtless saying of a great princess, who, on being informed that the country people had no bread, replied, Let them eat cake.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Remorse sleeps in the atmosphere of prosperity.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
We are born, so to speak, twice over born into existence, and born into life born a human being, and born a man.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Women, in general, are not attracted to art at all, nor knowledge, and not at all to genius.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
I have resolved on an enterprise that has no precedent and will have no imitator. I want to set before my fellow human beings a man in every way true to nature and that man will be myself.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
It is in man's heart that the life of nature's spectacle exists to see it, one must feel it.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The apparent ease with which children learn is their ruin.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Man is born free and everywhere he is in chains.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The passions are the voice of the body.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Provided a man is not mad, he can be cured of every folly but vanity.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
It is well known that a loose and easy dress contributes much to give to both sexes those fine proportions of body that are observable in the Grecian statues, and which serve as models to our present artists.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
There is one further distinguishing characteristic of man which is very specific indeed and about which there can be no dispute, and that is the faculty of self-improvement - a faculty which, with the help of circumstance, progressively develops all our other faculties.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The opportunity of making happy is more scarce than we imagine the punishment of missing it is, never to meet with it again and the use we make of it leaves us an eternal sentiment of satisfaction or repentance.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
It is too difficult to think nobly when one thinks only of earning a living.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
I only see clearly what I remember.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Reading, solitude, idleness, a soft and sedentary life, intercourse with women and young people, these are perilous paths for a young man, and these lead him constantly into danger.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
It is easier to conquer than to administer. With enough leverage, a finger could overturn the world but to support the world, one must have the shoulders of Hercules.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
There is no subjection so perfect as that which keeps the appearance of freedom.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Force does not constitute right... obedience is due only to legitimate powers.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
