More quotes by Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Generally we obtain very surely and very speedily what we are not too anxious to obtain.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Many men, seemingly impelled by fortune, hasten forward to meet misfortune half way.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Whatever may be our natural talents, the art of writing is not acquired all at once.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
At length I recollected the thoughtless saying of a great princess, who, on being informed that the country people had no bread, replied, Let them eat cake.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Good laws lead to the making of better ones bad ones bring about worse.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The freedom of Mankind does not lie in the fact that can do what we want, but that we do not have to do that which we do not want.
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
In all the ills that befall us, we are more concerned by the intention than the result. A tile that falls off a roof may injure us more seriously, but it will not wound us so deeply as a stone thrown deliberately by a malevolent hand. The blow may miss, but the intention always strikes home.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
We are born weak, we need strength helpless, we need aid foolish, we need reason. All that we lack at birth, all that we need when we come to man's estate, is the gift of education.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Abstract truth is the eye of reason.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The training of children is a profession, where we must know how to waste time in order to save it.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Equality, because without it there can be no liberty.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
It is manifestly contrary to the law of nature, however defined, that a handful of people should gorge themselves with superfluities while the hungry majority goes in need of necessities.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
To write a good love letter, you ought to begin without knowing what you mean to say, and to finish without knowing what you have written.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
It is as if my heart and my brain did not belong to the same person. Feelings come quicker than lightning and fill my soul, but they bring me no illumination they burn me and dazzle me.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
What wisdom can you find that is greater than kindness?
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Reading, solitude, idleness, a soft and sedentary life, intercourse with women and young people, these are perilous paths for a young man, and these lead him constantly into danger.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
I have always said and felt that true enjoyment can not be described.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
But in some great souls, who consider themselves as citizens of the world, and forcing the imaginary barriers that separate people from people.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
He thinks like a philosopher, but governs like a king.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
