More quotes by Jean-Jacques Rousseau
It is in man's heart that the life of nature's spectacle exists to see it, one must feel it.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Conscience is the voice of the soul, the passions are the voice of the body. It is strange that these voices often contradict each other?
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
The bigger a state becomes the more liberty diminishes.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Men speak from knowledge, women from imagination.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The man who meditates is a depraved animal.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The apparent ease with which children learn is their ruin.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
But remain the teacher of the young teachers. Advise and direct us, and we will be ready to learn. I will have need of you as long as I live.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The social pact, far from destroying natural equality, substitutes, on the contrary, a moral and lawful equality for whatever physical inequality that nature may have imposed on mankind so that however unequal in strength and intelligence, men become equal by covenant and by right.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Posterity is always just.
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
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
What, then, is the government? An intermediary body established between the subjects and the sovereign for their mutual communication, and charged with the execution of the laws and the maintenance of freedom, civil as well as political.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
I only see clearly what I remember.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Abstaining so as really to enjoy, is the epicurism, the very perfection, of reason.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The animals you eat are not those who devour others you do not eat the carnivorous beasts, you take them as your pattern. You only hunger for the sweet and gentle creatures which harm no one, which follow you, serve you, and are devoured by you as the reward of their service.
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
Definitions would be good things if we did not use words to make them.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Girls must be thwarted early in life.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Frequent punishments are always a sign of weakness or laziness on the part of a government.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
