More quotes by Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Patience patience quotes is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Liberty is obedience to the law which one has laid down for oneself
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
I hate books they only teach people to talk about what they don't understand.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Many men, seemingly impelled by fortune, hasten forward to meet misfortune half way.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Too much apparatus, designed to guide us in experiments and to supplement the exactness of our senses, makes us neglect to use those senses...The more ingenious our apparatus, the coarser and more unskillful are our senses. We surround ourselves with tools and fail to use those which nature has provided every one of us.
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
All of my misfortunes come from having thought too well of my fellows.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
For it is in our nature to endure patiently the decrees of fate, but not the ill-will of others.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Even knaves may be made good for something.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
I loved too sincerely, too completely, I venture to say, to be able to be happy easily.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Insults are the arguments employed by those who are in the wrong.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
I have never thought, for my part, that man's freedom consists in his being able to do whatever he wills, but that he should not, by any human power, be forced to do what is against his will.
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
Whatever may be our natural talents, the art of writing is not acquired all at once.
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
The empire of woman is an empire of softness, of address, of complacency. Her commands are caresses, her menaces are tears.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
An honest man nearly always thinks justly.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Smell is the sense of memory and desire.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
At Genoa, the word Liberty may be read over the front of the prisons and on the chains of the galley-slaves. This application of the device is good and just. It is indeed only malefactors of all estates who prevent the citizen from being free. In the country in which all such men were in the galleys, the most perfect liberty would be enjoyed.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Ordinary readers, forgive my paradoxes: one must make them when one reflects and whatever you may say, I prefer being a man with paradoxes than a man with prejudices.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
