Jean-Jacques Rousseau
When a man dies he clutches in his hands only that which he has given away during his lifetime.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
We do not know either unalloyed happiness or unmitigated misfortune. Everything in this world is a tangled yarn we taste nothing in its purity we do not remain two moments in the same state. Our affections as well as bodies, are in a perpetual flux.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
My bad head cannot adjust itself to the way things are.... If I want to depict spring, it has to be in wintertime if I want to describe a beautiful landscape, I must be enclosed within walls and I have said a hundred times that if I were put in the Bastille, there I would paint a picture of liberty.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
I only see clearly what I remember.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
By doing good we become good.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
He who pretends to look upon death without fear, lies
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The writings of women are always cold and pretty like themselves. There is as much wit as you may desire, but never any soul.
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
Whoever refuses to obey the general will will be forced to do so by the entire body this means merely that he will be forced to be free.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Supreme happiness consists in self-content.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Supreme happiness consists in self-content that we may gain this self-content, we are placed upon this earth and endowed with freedom.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
It is as if my heart and my brain did not belong to the same person. Feelings come quicker than lightning and fill my soul, but they bring me no illumination they burn me and dazzle me.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
I think we cannot too strongly attack superstition, which is the disturber of society nor too highly respect genuine religion, which is the support of it.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The people is never corrupted, but it is often deceived.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The general will is always right.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
