Jean-Jacques Rousseau
There is a period in life when we go backwards as we advance.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Money is the seed of money.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
We do not know what really good or bad fortune is.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
There is no folly of which a man who is not a fool cannot get rid except vanity of this nothing cures a man except experience of its bad consequences, if indeed anything can cure it.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Two things, almost incompatible, are united in me in a manner which I am unable to understand: a very ardent temperament, lively and tumultuous passions, and, at the same time, slowly developed and confused ideas, which never present themselves until it is too late. One might say that my heart and my mind do not belong to the same person.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Trust your heart rather than your head.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
