More quotes by 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
It is in man's heart that the life of nature's spectacle exists to see it, one must feel it.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Presence of mind, penetration, fine observation, are the sciences of women ability to avail themselves of these is their talent.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
In a well governed state, there are few punishments, not because there are many pardons, but because criminals are rare it is when a state is in decay that the multitude of crimes is a gaurantee of impunity.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Being wealthy isn't just a question of having lots of money. It's a question of what we want. Wealth isn't an absolute, it's relative to desire. Every time we seek something that we can't afford, we can be counted as poor, how much money we may actually have.
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
The English people believes itself to be free it is gravely mistaken it is free only during election of members of parliament as soon as the members are elected, the people is enslaved it is nothing. In the brief moment of its freedom, the English people makes such a use of that freedom that it deserves to lose it.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The thirst after happiness is never extinguished in the heart of man.
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
I don't know what is truth,but I can tell you how to find it!
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Days of absence, sad and dreary, Clothed in sorrow's dark array, - Days of absence, I am weary She I love is far away.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
There are times when I am so unlike myself that I might be taken for someone else of an entirely opposite character.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Remorse sleeps in the atmosphere of prosperity.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Every free action has two causes that come together to produce it. One is moral, the will that determines the act the other is physical, the power that executes the will to act.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
I am not made like any of those I have seen. I venture to believe that I am not made like any of those who are in existence. If I am not better, at least I am different.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Provided a man is not mad, he can be cured of every folly but vanity.
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
Money is the seed of money.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
In any case, frequent punishments are a sign of weakness or slackness in the government. There is no man so bad that he cannot be made good for something. No man should be put to death, even as an example, if he can be left to live without danger to society.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Every man has the right to risk his own life in order to preserve it. Has it ever been said that a man who throws himself out the window to escape from a fire is guilty of suicide?
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
