More quotes by Jean-Jacques Rousseau
There is no evildoer who could not be made good for something.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
War then, is a relation - not between man and man but between state and state and individuals are enemies only accidentally not as men, nor even as citizens but as soldiers not as members of their country, but as its defenders
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The abuse of books kills science. Believing that we know what we have read, we believe that we can dispense with learning it.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Remorse sleeps during prosperity but awakes bitter consciousness during adversity.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Whoever refuses to obey the general will will be forced to do so by the entire body this means merely that he will be forced to be free.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
I say to myself: Who are you to measure infinite power?
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Our affections as well as our bodies are in perpetual flux.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Whoever blushes is already guilty true innocence is ashamed of nothing.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Trust your heart rather than your head.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
A blue-stocking is the scourge of her husband, children, friends, servants, and every one. [Fr., Une femme bel-esprit est le fleau de son mari, de ses enfants, de ses amis, de ses valets, et tout le monde.]
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Take from the philosopher the pleasure of being heard and his desire for knowledge ceases.
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
Watch a cat when it enters a room for the first time. It searches and smells about, it is not quiet for a moment, it trusts nothing until it has examined and made acquaintance with everything.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
I have resolved on an enterprise that has no precedent and will have no imitator. I want to set before my fellow human beings a man in every way true to nature and that man will be myself.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
I have never thought, for my part, that man's freedom consists in his being able to do whatever he wills, but that he should not, by any human power, be forced to do what is against his will.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Our greatest evil flows from ourselves.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
It is too difficult to think nobly when one thinks only of earning a living.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The animals you eat are not those who devour others you do not eat the carnivorous beasts, you take them as your pattern. You only hunger for the sweet and gentle creatures which harm no one, which follow you, serve you, and are devoured by you as the reward of their service.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
I have never believed that man's freedom consisted in doing what he wants, but rather in never doing what he does not want to do.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Gracefulness cannot subsist without ease delicacy is not debility nor must a woman be sick in order to please. Infirmity, and sickness may excite our pity, but desire and pleasure require the bloom and vigor of health.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
