More quotes by Jean-Jacques Rousseau
I say to myself: Who are you to measure infinite power?
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Rather suffer an injustice than commit one.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
There is a period in life when we go backwards as we advance.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Trust your heart rather than your head.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
It is too difficult to think nobly when one thinks only of earning a living.
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
Nature wants children to be children before men... Childhood has its own seeing, thinking and feeling.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Whoever refuses to obey the general will will be forced to do so by the entire body this means merely that he will be forced to be free.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Supreme happiness consists in self-content.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Accent is the soul of language it gives to it both feeling and truth.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
I loved too sincerely, too completely, I venture to say, to be able to be happy easily.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Usurpers always bring about or select troublous times to get passed, under cover of the public terror, destructive laws, which the people would never adopt in cold blood. The moment chosen is one of the surest means of distinguishing the work of the legislator from that of the tyrant.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
People in their natural state are basically good. But this natural innocence,however, is corrupted by the evils of society.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Every artists wants to be applauded
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
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
I do not know is a phrase which becomes us.
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
Men will argue more philosophically about the human heart but women will read the heart of man better than they.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
I don't know what is truth,but I can tell you how to find it!
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
