More quotes by Jean-Jacques Rousseau
We do not know what really good or bad fortune is.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Accent is the soul of language it gives to it both feeling and truth.
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
No one is happy unless he respects himself.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Although modesty is natural to man, it is not natural to children. Modesty only begins with the knowledge of evil.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Childhood is the sleep of reason.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Once you teach people to say what they do not understand, it is easy enough to get them to say anything you like.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
There is a period in life when we go backwards as we advance.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
When a man dies he clutches in his hands only that which he has given away during his lifetime.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Frequent punishments are always a sign of weakness or laziness on the part of a government.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Liberty may be gained, but can never be recovered.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Happiness: a good bank account, a good cook, and a good digestion.
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
Sovereigns always see with pleasure a taste for the arts of amusement and superfluity, which do not result in the exportation of bullion, increase among their subjects. They very well know that, besides nourishing that littleness of mind which is proper to slavery, the increase of artificial wants only binds so many more chains upon the people.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The bigger a state becomes the more liberty diminishes.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Everything we do not have at our birth and which we need when we are grown is given to us by education.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Take from the philosopher the pleasure of being heard and his desire for knowledge ceases.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The more humanity owes him, the more society denies him. Every door is shut against him, even when he has a right to its being opened: and if he ever obtains justice, it is with much greater difficulty than others obtain favors.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Love, known to the person by whom it is inspired, becomes more bearable.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Money is the seed of money.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
