No one is happy unless he respects himself.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
I prefer liberty with danger than peace with slavery.
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 world is the book of women. Whatever knowledge they may possess is more commonly acquired by observation than by reading.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Every free action has two causes that come together to produce it. One is moral, the will that determines the act the other is physical, the power that executes the will to act.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Physical evils destroy themselves, or they destroy us.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Social man lives constantly outside himself.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Liberty is obedience to the law which one has laid down for oneself
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
An honest man nearly always thinks justly.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Plant and your spouse plants with you weed and you weed alone.
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
Presence of mind, penetration, fine observation, are the sciences of women ability to avail themselves of these is their talent.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Nature wants children to be children before men... Childhood has its own seeing, thinking and feeling.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The man who meditates is a depraved animal.
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
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
In all the ills that befall us, we are more concerned by the intention than the result. A tile that falls off a roof may injure us more seriously, but it will not wound us so deeply as a stone thrown deliberately by a malevolent hand. The blow may miss, but the intention always strikes home.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Equality, because without it there can be no liberty.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
If I am part of a group of 100 people, do 99 people have the right to sentence me to death, just because they are majority?
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Christ preaches only servitude and dependence... True Christians are made to be slaves.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
