More quotes by 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
Men will argue more philosophically about the human heart but women will read the heart of man better than they.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Her dignity consists in being unknown to the world her glory is in the esteem of her husband her pleasures in the happiness of her family.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
From the first moment of life, men ought to begin learning to deserve to live and, as at the instant of birth we partake of the rights of citizenship, that instant ought to be the beginning of the exercise of our duty.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
A paralyzed man who wants to walk OR an agile man who does not want to walk will both remain neutral in nature.
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
Man is born free and everywhere he is in chains.
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
Love, known to the person by whom it is inspired, becomes more bearable.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Being wealthy isn't just a question of having lots of money. It's a question of what we want. Wealth isn't an absolute, it's relative to desire. Every time we seek something that we can't afford, we can be counted as poor, how much money we may actually have.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
I have never believed that man's freedom consisted in doing what he wants, but rather in never doing what he does not want to do.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Insults are the arguments employed by those who are in the wrong.
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
I only see clearly what I remember.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The world is woman's book. [Fr., Le monde est le livre des femmes.]
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
I perceive God everywhere in His works. I sense Him in me I see Him all around me.
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
Your first duty is to be humane. Love childhood. Look with friendly eyes on its games, its pleasures, its amiable dispositions. Which of you does not sometimes look back regretfully on the age when laughter was ever on the lips and the heart free of care? Why steal from the little innocents the enjoyment of a time that passes all too quickly?
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
One must choose between making a man or a citizen, for one cannot make both at the same time.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The thirst after happiness is never extinguished in the heart of man.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
