Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Money is the seed of money.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The man who meditates is a depraved animal.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The French painter Rousseau was once asked why he put a naked woman on a red sofa in the middle of his jungle pictures. He answered, 'I needed a bit of red there.'
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
It is easier to conquer than to administer. With enough leverage, a finger could overturn the world but to support the world, one must have the shoulders of Hercules.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
