More quotes by Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Liberty is obedience to the law which one has laid down for oneself
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Rather suffer an injustice than commit one.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Accent is the soul of language it gives to it both feeling and truth.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Every artists wants to be applauded
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Being wealthy isn't just a question of having lots of money. It's a question of what we want. Wealth isn't an absolute, it's relative to desire. Every time we seek something that we can't afford, we can be counted as poor, how much money we may actually have.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Supreme happiness consists in self-content.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The opportunity of making happy is more scarce than we imagine the punishment of missing it is, never to meet with it again and the use we make of it leaves us an eternal sentiment of satisfaction or repentance.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
A man who is not a fool can rid himself of every folly except vanity.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Provided a man is not mad, he can be cured of every folly but vanity.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Happiness: a good bank account, a good cook, and a good digestion.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
There is no evildoer who could not be made good for something.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
I would rather be a man of paradoxes than a man of prejudices.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Her dignity consists in being unknown to the world her glory is in the esteem of her husband her pleasures in the happiness of her family.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
I perceive God everywhere in His works. I sense Him in me I see Him all around me.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Nature wants children to be children before men... Childhood has its own seeing, thinking and feeling.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
If there wasn't a God we would have to invent one to keep people sane.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
If all were perfect Christians, individuals would do their duty the people would be obedient to the laws, the magistrates incorrupt, and there would be neither vanity nor luxury in such a state.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
It is in man's heart that the life of nature's spectacle exists to see it, one must feel it.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The more humanity owes him, the more society denies him. Every door is shut against him, even when he has a right to its being opened: and if he ever obtains justice, it is with much greater difficulty than others obtain favors.
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
