By doing good we become good.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Even knaves may be made good for something.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
At first we will only skim the surface of the earth like young starlings, but soon, emboldened by practice and experience, we will spring into the air with the impetuousness of the eagle, diverting ourselves by watching the childish behavior of the little men or awling miserably around on the earth below us.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Presence of mind, penetration, fine observation, are the sciences of women ability to avail themselves of these is their talent.
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
A paralyzed man who wants to walk OR an agile man who does not want to walk will both remain neutral in nature.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The man who gets the most out of life is not the one who has lived it longest, but the one who has felt life most deeply.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
If Socrates died like a philosopher, Jesus Christ died like a God.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The taste for splendor is hardly ever combined in the same souls with the taste for the honorable.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
I hate books they only teach people to talk about what they don't understand.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The general will is always right.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Free people, remember this maxim: we may acquire liberty, but it is never recovered if it is once lost.
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

Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Remorse goes to sleep during a prosperous period and wakes up in adversity. [Fr., Le remords s'endort durant un destin prospere et s'aigrit dans l'adversite.]
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Generally we obtain very surely and very speedily what we are not too anxious to obtain.
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
Reason deceives us conscience, never.
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
