More quotes by Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The French, for example, are a contemptible nation.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Frequent punishments are always a sign of weakness or laziness on the part of a government.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
I have never thought, for my part, that man's freedom consists in his being able to do whatever he wills, but that he should not, by any human power, be forced to do what is against his will.
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
I bold it impossible, that the great monarchies of Europe can subsist much longer they all affect magnificence and splendor.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
For it is in our nature to endure patiently the decrees of fate, but not the ill-will of others.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Provided a man is not mad, he can be cured of every folly but vanity.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
He who pretends to look upon death without fear, lies
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
I undertake the same project as Montaigne, but with an aim contrary to his own: for he wrote his Essays only for others, and I write my reveries only for myself.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Why should we build our happiness on the opinons of others, when we can find it in our own hearts?
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The man who meditates is a depraved animal.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Provided a man is not mad, he can be cured of every folly but vanity there is no cure for this but experience, if indeed there is any cure for it at all.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
It is easier to conquer than to administer. With enough leverage, a finger could overturn the world but to support the world, one must have the shoulders of Hercules.
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
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
Your first duty is to be humane. Love childhood. Look with friendly eyes on its games, its pleasures, its amiable dispositions. Which of you does not sometimes look back regretfully on the age when laughter was ever on the lips and the heart free of care? Why steal from the little innocents the enjoyment of a time that passes all too quickly?
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
There is no subjection so perfect as that which keeps the appearance of freedom.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
In truth, laws are always useful to those with possessions and harmful to those who have nothing from which it follows that the social state is advantageous to men only when all possess something and none has too much.
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
The people is never corrupted, but it is often deceived.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
