The strength of the people is effective only if it is concentrated it evaporates and is lost when it is dispersed, just as gunpowder scattered on the ground ignites only grain by grain.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The animals you eat are not those who devour others you do not eat the carnivorous beasts, you take them as your pattern. You only hunger for the sweet and gentle creatures which harm no one, which follow you, serve you, and are devoured by you as the reward of their service.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
I have never thought, for my part, that man's freedom consists in his being able to do whatever he wills, but that he should not, by any human power, be forced to do what is against his will.
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
Supreme happiness consists in self-content that we may gain this self-content, we are placed upon this earth and endowed with freedom.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Reason deceives us conscience, never.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Teach by doing whenever you can, and only fall back upon words when doing it is out of the question.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Women, in general, are not attracted to art at all, nor knowledge, and not at all to genius.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Love, known to the person by whom it is inspired, becomes more bearable.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Two things, almost incompatible, are united in me in a manner which I am unable to understand: a very ardent temperament, lively and tumultuous passions, and, at the same time, slowly developed and confused ideas, which never present themselves until it is too late. One might say that my heart and my mind do not belong to the same person.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
What wisdom can you find that is greater than kindness?
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The passions are the voice of the body.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
