More quotes by Jean-Jacques Rousseau
In the strict sense of the term, a true democracy has never existed, and never will exist.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
It is manifestly contrary to the law of nature, however defined, that a handful of people should gorge themselves with superfluities while the hungry majority goes in need of necessities.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Happiness: a good bank account, a good cook, and a good digestion.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
There is no subjection so perfect as that which keeps the appearance of freedom.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
In all the ills that befall us, we are more concerned by the intention than the result. A tile that falls off a roof may injure us more seriously, but it will not wound us so deeply as a stone thrown deliberately by a malevolent hand. The blow may miss, but the intention always strikes home.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The man who meditates is a depraved animal.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Since men cannot create new forces, but merely combine and control those which already exist, the only way in which they can preserve themselves is by uniting their separate powers in a combination strong enough to overcome any resistance, uniting them so that their powers are directed by a single motive and act in concert.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Man is born free and everywhere he is in chains.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The writings of women are always cold and pretty like themselves. There is as much wit as you may desire, but never any soul.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Patience patience quotes is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
I do not know is a phrase which becomes us.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
No man has any natural authority over his fellow men.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
As long as there are rich people in the world, they will be desirous of distinguishing themselves from the poor.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
He thinks like a philosopher, but governs like a king.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Posterity is always just.
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
I prefer liberty with danger than peace with slavery.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The French painter Rousseau was once asked why he put a naked woman on a red sofa in the middle of his jungle pictures. He answered, 'I needed a bit of red there.'
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Anticipation and Hope are born twins.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Chemistry... is like the maid occupied with daily civilisation she is busy with fertilisers, medicines, glass, insecticides ... for she dispenses the recipes.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
