More quotes by Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Whoever blushes is already guilty true innocence is ashamed of nothing.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
We are born, so to speak, twice over born into existence, and born into life born a human being, and born a man.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The abuse of books kills science. Believing that we know what we have read, we believe that we can dispense with learning it.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
If Socrates died like a philosopher, Jesus Christ died like a God.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Force does not constitute right... obedience is due only to legitimate powers.
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
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
There exists one book, which, to my taste, furnishes the happiest treatise of natural education. What then is this marvelous book? Is it Aristotle? Is it Pliny, is it Buffon? No-it is Robinson Crusoe.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Universal silence is taken to imply the consent of the people.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
To make a man richer, give him more money of curb his desires.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Finance is a slave's word.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The man is best served who has no occasion to put the hands of others at the end of his own arms.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
There are two things to be considered with regard to any scheme. In the first place, Is it good in itself? In the second, Can it be easily put into practice?
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
...in respect of riches, no citizen shall ever be wealthy enough to buy another, and none poor enough to be forced to sell himself.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Remorse sleeps during a prosperous period but wakes up in adversity.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The empire of woman is an empire of softness, of address, of complacency. Her commands are caresses, her menaces are tears.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The science of government is only a science of combinations, of applications, and of exceptions, according to times, places and circumstances.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
No true believer could be intolerant or a persecutor. If I were a magistrate and the law carried the death penalty against atheists, I would begin by sending to the stake whoever denounced another.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The passions are the voice of the body.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The taste for splendor is hardly ever combined in the same souls with the taste for the honorable.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
