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

Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Finance is a slave's word.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
But in some great souls, who consider themselves as citizens of the world, and forcing the imaginary barriers that separate people from people.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The man is best served who has no occasion to put the hands of others at the end of his own arms.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Anticipation and Hope are born twins.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Take from the philosopher the pleasure of being heard and his desire for knowledge ceases.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
By doing good we become good.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Remorse goes to sleep during a prosperous period and wakes up in adversity. [Fr., Le remords s'endort durant un destin prospere et s'aigrit dans l'adversite.]
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
