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
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
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
There is a period in life when we go backwards as we advance.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
In truth, laws are always useful to those with possessions and harmful to those who have nothing from which it follows that the social state is advantageous to men only when all possess something and none has too much.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Provided a man is not mad, he can be cured of every folly but vanity there is no cure for this but experience, if indeed there is any cure for it at all.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
He who pretends to look upon death without fear, lies
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The world of reality has its limits the world of imagination is boundless.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Since men cannot create new forces, but merely combine and control those which already exist, the only way in which they can preserve themselves is by uniting their separate powers in a combination strong enough to overcome any resistance, uniting them so that their powers are directed by a single motive and act in concert.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The happiest is he who suffers least the most miserable is he who enjoys least.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
But remain the teacher of the young teachers. Advise and direct us, and we will be ready to learn. I will have need of you as long as I live.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
