More quotes by 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
When a man dies he clutches in his hands only that which he has given away during his lifetime.
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
If Socrates died like a philosopher, Jesus Christ died like a God.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The training of children is a profession, where we must know how to waste time in order to save it.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Rather suffer an injustice than commit one.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Smell is the sense of memory and desire.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Sovereigns always see with pleasure a taste for the arts of amusement and superfluity, which do not result in the exportation of bullion, increase among their subjects. They very well know that, besides nourishing that littleness of mind which is proper to slavery, the increase of artificial wants only binds so many more chains upon the people.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Our greatest evil flows from ourselves.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
It is well known that a loose and easy dress contributes much to give to both sexes those fine proportions of body that are observable in the Grecian statues, and which serve as models to our present artists.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
He thinks like a philosopher, but governs like a king.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
We are born, so to speak, twice over born into existence, and born into life born a human being, and born a man.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Gracefulness cannot subsist without ease delicacy is not debility nor must a woman be sick in order to please. Infirmity, and sickness may excite our pity, but desire and pleasure require the bloom and vigor of health.
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
To be sane in a world of madman is in itself madness.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The people is never corrupted, but it is often deceived.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Liberty is obedience to the law which one has laid down for oneself
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Women, in general, are not attracted to art at all, nor knowledge, and not at all to genius.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
An honest man nearly always thinks justly.
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
