Jean-Jacques Rousseau
[When anything happens, we interpret it as good or bad, but...] We do not know what is really good or bad fortune. [Only the future can decide. For example, what appears to be bad today may in fact lead us to a greater good tomorrow and by the very act of thinking and planning in that positive way, we can help make that good future come true.]
Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Man is born free and everywhere he is in chains.
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
The man who gets the most out of life is not the one who has lived it longest, but the one who has felt life most deeply.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Take from the philosopher the pleasure of being heard and his desire for knowledge ceases.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The training of children is a profession, where we must know how to waste time in order to save it.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
I perceive God everywhere in His works. I sense Him in me I see Him all around me.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Do not judge, and you will never be mistaken.
