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
The training of children is a profession, where we must know how to waste time in order to save it.
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
Reason deceives us conscience, never.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Quit thy childhood, my friend, and wake up!
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
