More quotes by Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The general will is always right.
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
Abstaining so as really to enjoy, is the epicurism, the very perfection, of reason.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
In Genoa, the word, libertas can be read on the front of prisons and on the fetters of galley-slaves. The application of this motto is fine and just.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Remorse sleeps during prosperity but awakes bitter consciousness during adversity.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
By doing good we become good.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Provided a man is not mad, he can be cured of every folly but vanity there is no cure for this but experience, if indeed there is any cure for it at all.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Never exceed your rights, and they will soon become unlimited.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Luxury either comes of riches or makes them necessary it corrupts at once rich and poor, the rich by possession and the poor by covetousness.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
We do not know either unalloyed happiness or unmitigated misfortune. Everything in this world is a tangled yarn we taste nothing in its purity we do not remain two moments in the same state. Our affections as well as bodies, are in a perpetual flux.
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
Whatever may be our natural talents, the art of writing is not acquired all at once.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
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
Ordinary readers, forgive my paradoxes: one must make them when one reflects and whatever you may say, I prefer being a man with paradoxes than a man with prejudices.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Slaves lose everything in their chains, even the desire of escaping from them.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Men speak from knowledge, women from imagination.
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
Christ preaches only servitude and dependence... True Christians are made to be slaves.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Too much apparatus, designed to guide us in experiments and to supplement the exactness of our senses, makes us neglect to use those senses...The more ingenious our apparatus, the coarser and more unskillful are our senses. We surround ourselves with tools and fail to use those which nature has provided every one of us.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
A person who can break wind is not dead.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
