More quotes by Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Remorse goes to sleep during a prosperous period and wakes up in adversity. [Fr., Le remords s'endort durant un destin prospere et s'aigrit dans l'adversite.]
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
When a man dies he clutches in his hands only that which he has given away during his lifetime.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The apparent ease with which children learn is their ruin.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
It is too difficult to think nobly when one thinks only of earning a living.
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
At first we will only skim the surface of the earth like young starlings, but soon, emboldened by practice and experience, we will spring into the air with the impetuousness of the eagle, diverting ourselves by watching the childish behavior of the little men or awling miserably around on the earth below us.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The empire of woman is an empire of softness, of address, of complacency. Her commands are caresses, her menaces are tears.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Every man having been born free and master of himself, no one else may under any pretext whatever subject him without his consent. To assert that the son of a slave is born a slave is to assert that he is not born a man.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
There are times when I am so unlike myself that I might be taken for someone else of an entirely opposite character.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The English people believes itself to be free it is gravely mistaken it is free only during election of members of parliament as soon as the members are elected, the people is enslaved it is nothing. In the brief moment of its freedom, the English people makes such a use of that freedom that it deserves to lose it.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
To renounce freedom is to renounce one's humanity, one's rights as a man and equally one's duties.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
To make a man richer, give him more money of curb his desires.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
There are two things to be considered with regard to any scheme. In the first place, Is it good in itself? In the second, Can it be easily put into practice?
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Whoever blushes is already guilty true innocence is ashamed of nothing.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Provided a man is not mad, he can be cured of every folly but vanity.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
It is not possible for minds degraded by a host of trivial concerns to ever rise to anything great.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Man is born free and everywhere he is in chains.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Usurpers always bring about or select troublous times to get passed, under cover of the public terror, destructive laws, which the people would never adopt in cold blood. The moment chosen is one of the surest means of distinguishing the work of the legislator from that of the tyrant.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Teach by doing whenever you can, and only fall back upon words when doing it is out of the question.
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
