More quotes by Jean-Jacques Rousseau
If Socrates died like a philosopher, Jesus Christ died like a God.
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
You forget that the fruits belong to all and that the land belongs to no one.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
At Genoa, the word Liberty may be read over the front of the prisons and on the chains of the galley-slaves. This application of the device is good and just. It is indeed only malefactors of all estates who prevent the citizen from being free. In the country in which all such men were in the galleys, the most perfect liberty would be enjoyed.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
I have always said and felt that true enjoyment can not be described.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Luxury either comes of riches or makes them necessary it corrupts at once rich and poor, the rich by possession and the poor by covetousness.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Liberty is not to be found in any form of government she is in the heart of the free man he bears her with him everywhere.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
I am not made like any of those I have seen. I venture to believe that I am not made like any of those who are in existence. If I am not better, at least I am different.
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
The passions are the voice of the body.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Finance is a slave's word.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
There is no folly of which a man who is not a fool cannot get rid except vanity of this nothing cures a man except experience of its bad consequences, if indeed anything can cure it.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Our greatest evil flows from ourselves.
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
Smell is the sense of memory and desire.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The truths of the Scriptures are so marked and inimitable, that the inventor would be more of a miraculous character than the hero.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
I do not know is a phrase which becomes us.
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
Although modesty is natural to man, it is not natural to children. Modesty only begins with the knowledge of evil.
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
