More quotes by Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Conscience is the voice of the soul, the passions are the voice of the body. It is strange that these voices often contradict each other?
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Liberty may be gained, but can never be recovered.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Supreme happiness consists in self-content.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Everything made by man may be destroyed by man there are no ineffaceable characters except those engraved by nature and nature makes neither princes nor rich men nor great lords.
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
For it is in our nature to endure patiently the decrees of fate, but not the ill-will of others.
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
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
Every man has the right to risk his own life in order to preserve it. Has it ever been said that a man who throws himself out the window to escape from a fire is guilty of suicide?
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
I would rather be a man of paradoxes than a man of prejudices.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Temperance and labor are the two best physicians of man labor sharpens the appetite, and temperance prevents from indulging to excess
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Social man lives constantly outside himself.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
To write a good love letter, you ought to begin without knowing what you mean to say, and to finish without knowing what you have written.
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
If there wasn't a God we would have to invent one to keep people sane.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The man is best served who has no occasion to put the hands of others at the end of his own arms.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
For, as I think I have said, I can only meditate when I am walking. When I stop I cease to think my mind only works with my legs.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The English people think they are free they are greatly deceived they are free only during the election of members of Parliament.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
It is unnatural for a majority to rule, for a majority can seldom be organized and united for specific action, and a minority can.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
