More quotes by Jean-Jacques Rousseau
You forget that the fruits belong to all and that the land belongs to no one.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
What, then, is the government? An intermediary body established between the subjects and the sovereign for their mutual communication, and charged with the execution of the laws and the maintenance of freedom, civil as well as political.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The apparent ease with which children learn is their ruin.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
No true believer could be intolerant or a persecutor. If I were a magistrate and the law carried the death penalty against atheists, I would begin by sending to the stake whoever denounced another.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Reason deceives us conscience, never.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
There is a period of life when we go back as we advance. [Fr., Il est un terme de la vie au-dela duquel en retrograde en avancant.]
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Temperance and labor are the two best physicians of man labor sharpens the appetite, and temperance prevents from indulging to excess
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Patience patience quotes is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Childhood has it's own way of seeing, thinking, and feeling, and nothing is more foolish than to try to substitute ours for theirs.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Never exceed your rights, and they will soon become unlimited.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
We do not know either unalloyed happiness or unmitigated misfortune. Everything in this world is a tangled yarn we taste nothing in its purity we do not remain two moments in the same state. Our affections as well as bodies, are in a perpetual flux.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
We are born, so to speak, twice over born into existence, and born into life born a human being, and born a man.
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
If Socrates died like a philosopher, Jesus Christ died like a God.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Trust your heart rather than your head.
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
Every man having been born free and master of himself, no one else may under any pretext whatever subject him without his consent. To assert that the son of a slave is born a slave is to assert that he is not born a man.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The truths of the Scriptures are so marked and inimitable, that the inventor would be more of a miraculous character than the hero.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Do not judge, and you will never be mistaken.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
From the first moment of life, men ought to begin learning to deserve to live and, as at the instant of birth we partake of the rights of citizenship, that instant ought to be the beginning of the exercise of our duty.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
