Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Jean-Jacques Rousseau
There exists one book, which, to my taste, furnishes the happiest treatise of natural education. What then is this marvelous book? Is it Aristotle? Is it Pliny, is it Buffon? No-it is Robinson Crusoe.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
There is a period in life when we go backwards as we advance.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
People in their natural state are basically good. But this natural innocence,however, is corrupted by the evils of society.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The world is woman's book. [Fr., Le monde est le livre des femmes.]
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Take from the philosopher the pleasure of being heard and his desire for knowledge ceases.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The science of government is only a science of combinations, of applications, and of exceptions, according to times, places and circumstances.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
An honest man nearly always thinks justly.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
