Remorse sleeps during prosperity but awakes bitter consciousness during adversity.
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
The writings of women are always cold and pretty like themselves. There is as much wit as you may desire, but never any soul.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
What, then, is the government? An intermediary body established between the subjects and the sovereign for their mutual communication, and charged with the execution of the laws and the maintenance of freedom, civil as well as political.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
I am not made like any of those I have seen. I venture to believe that I am not made like any of those who are in existence. If I am not better, at least I am different.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
I say to myself: Who are you to measure infinite power?
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
What wisdom can you find that is greater than kindness?
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Once you teach people to say what they do not understand, it is easy enough to get them to say anything you like.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The world is the book of women. Whatever knowledge they may possess is more commonly acquired by observation than by reading.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
We can never put ourselves in the shoes of children we cannot fathom their thoughts, we lend them ours and always following ourown reasoning, we stuff their heads with extravagance and error.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
I may be no better, but at least I am different.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
...in respect of riches, no citizen shall ever be wealthy enough to buy another, and none poor enough to be forced to sell himself.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The taste for splendor is hardly ever combined in the same souls with the taste for the honorable.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
I prefer liberty with danger than peace with slavery.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Supreme happiness consists in self-content.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Social man lives constantly outside himself.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
If all were perfect Christians, individuals would do their duty the people would be obedient to the laws, the magistrates incorrupt, and there would be neither vanity nor luxury in such a state.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Ordinary readers, forgive my paradoxes: one must make them when one reflects and whatever you may say, I prefer being a man with paradoxes than a man with prejudices.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Supreme happiness consists in self-content that we may gain this self-content, we are placed upon this earth and endowed with freedom.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
We do not know either unalloyed happiness or unmitigated misfortune. Everything in this world is a tangled yarn we taste nothing in its purity we do not remain two moments in the same state. Our affections as well as bodies, are in a perpetual flux.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
