Jean-Jacques Rousseau

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
I perceive God everywhere in His works. I sense Him in me I see Him all around me.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Conscience is the voice of the soul, the passions are the voice of the body. It is strange that these voices often contradict each other?
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Reason deceives us conscience, never.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Remorse sleeps during a prosperous period but wakes up in adversity.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
