More quotes by Jean-Jacques Rousseau
No man has any natural authority over his fellow men.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
One can buy anything with money except morality.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
At Genoa, the word Liberty may be read over the front of the prisons and on the chains of the galley-slaves. This application of the device is good and just. It is indeed only malefactors of all estates who prevent the citizen from being free. In the country in which all such men were in the galleys, the most perfect liberty would be enjoyed.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Liberty is not to be found in any form of government she is in the heart of the free man he bears her with him everywhere.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
If there wasn't a God we would have to invent one to keep people sane.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
As long as there are rich people in the world, they will be desirous of distinguishing themselves from the poor.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Reason deceives us conscience, never.
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
Free people, remember this maxim: we may acquire liberty, but it is never recovered if it is once lost.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Love, known to the person by whom it is inspired, becomes more bearable.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Leave those vain moralists, my friend, and return to the depth of your soul: that is where you will always rediscover the source of the sacred fire which so often inflamed us with love of the sublime virtues that is where you will see the eternal image of true beauty, the contemplation of which inspires us with a holy enthusiasm.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Chemistry... is like the maid occupied with daily civilisation she is busy with fertilisers, medicines, glass, insecticides ... for she dispenses the recipes.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Finance is a slave's word.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Plants are shaped by cultivation and men by education. .. We are born weak, we need strength we are born totally unprovided, we need aid we are born stupid, we need judgment. Everything we do not have at our birth and which we need when we are grown is given us by education.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Supreme happiness consists in self-content.
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
The writings of women are always cold and pretty like themselves. There is as much wit as you may desire, but never any soul.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
There is no subjection so perfect as that which keeps the appearance of freedom.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Trust your heart rather than your head.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
To try to conceal our own heart is a bad means to read that of others.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
