More quotes by 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
He who pretends to look on death without fear lies. All men are afraid of dying, this is the great law of sentient beings, without which the entire human species would soon be destroyed.
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
Accent is the soul of language it gives to it both feeling and truth.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
We lose all that time which we might employ better.
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
The man who gets the most out of life is not the one who has lived it longest, but the one who has felt life most deeply.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
To renounce freedom is to renounce one's humanity, one's rights as a man and equally one's duties.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Never exceed your rights, and they will soon become unlimited.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The apparent ease with which children learn is their ruin.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The animals you eat are not those who devour others you do not eat the carnivorous beasts, you take them as your pattern. You only hunger for the sweet and gentle creatures which harm no one, which follow you, serve you, and are devoured by you as the reward of their service.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The truths of the Scriptures are so marked and inimitable, that the inventor would be more of a miraculous character than the hero.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Plant and your spouse plants with you weed and you weed alone.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Happiness: a good bank account, a good cook, and a good digestion.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Anticipation and Hope are born twins.
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
The freedom of Mankind does not lie in the fact that can do what we want, but that we do not have to do that which we do not want.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
A man who is not a fool can rid himself of every folly except vanity.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
One must choose between making a man or a citizen, for one cannot make both at the same time.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Man is born free and everywhere he is in chains.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
