More quotes by Jean-Jacques Rousseau
For, as I think I have said, I can only meditate when I am walking. When I stop I cease to think my mind only works with my legs.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Chemistry... is like the maid occupied with daily civilisation she is busy with fertilisers, medicines, glass, insecticides ... for she dispenses the recipes.
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
Men speak from knowledge, women from imagination.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The world is the book of women. Whatever knowledge they may possess is more commonly acquired by observation than by reading.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
To renounce liberty is to renounce being a man, to surrender the rights of humanity and even its duties.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Girls must be thwarted early in life.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Many men, seemingly impelled by fortune, hasten forward to meet misfortune half way.
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
The people is never corrupted, but it is often deceived.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Finance is a slave's word.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The science of government is only a science of combinations, of applications, and of exceptions, according to times, places and circumstances.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
It is well known that a loose and easy dress contributes much to give to both sexes those fine proportions of body that are observable in the Grecian statues, and which serve as models to our present artists.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
A person who can break wind is not dead.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The tone of good conversation is brilliant and natural it is neither tedious nor frivolous it is instructive without pedantry, gay without tumultuousness, polished without affectation, gallant without insipidity, waggish without equivocation.
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
An intelligent being, is the active principle of all things. One must have renounced all common sense to doubt it, and it is a waste of time to try to prove such self evident truth.
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
Generally we obtain very surely and very speedily what we are not too anxious to obtain.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Being wealthy isn't just a question of having lots of money. It's a question of what we want. Wealth isn't an absolute, it's relative to desire. Every time we seek something that we can't afford, we can be counted as poor, how much money we may actually have.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
