Jean-Jacques Rousseau
At first we will only skim the surface of the earth like young starlings, but soon, emboldened by practice and experience, we will spring into the air with the impetuousness of the eagle, diverting ourselves by watching the childish behavior of the little men or awling miserably around on the earth below us.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Even knaves may be made good for something.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Supreme happiness consists in self-content.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Let the trumpet of the day of judgment sound when it will, I shall appear with this book in my hand before the Sovereign Judge, and cry with a loud voice, This is my work, there were my thoughts, and thus was I. I have freely told both the good and the bad, have hid nothing wicked, added nothing good.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The thirst after happiness is never extinguished in the heart of man.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Free people, remember this maxim: we may acquire liberty, but it is never recovered if it is once lost.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
We are reduced to asking others what we are. We never dare to ask ourselves.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The bigger a state becomes the more liberty diminishes.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Why should we build our happiness on the opinons of others, when we can find it in our own hearts?
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Good laws lead to the making of better ones bad ones bring about worse.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
