More quotes by Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Provided a man is not mad, he can be cured of every folly but vanity.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The bigger a state becomes the more liberty diminishes.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Every man having been born free and master of himself, no one else may under any pretext whatever subject him without his consent. To assert that the son of a slave is born a slave is to assert that he is not born a man.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
There is no subjection so perfect as that which keeps the appearance of freedom.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Generally we obtain very surely and very speedily what we are not too anxious to obtain.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Every artists wants to be applauded
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
We are reduced to asking others what we are. We never dare to ask ourselves.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Money is the seed of money, and the first guinea is sometimes more difficult to acquire than the second million.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
No man has any natural authority over his fellow men.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
In the strict sense of the term, a true democracy has never existed, and never will exist.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
I have always said and felt that true enjoyment can not be described.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Trust your heart rather than your head.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The apparent ease with which children learn is their ruin.
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
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
Presence of mind, penetration, fine observation, are the sciences of women ability to avail themselves of these is their talent.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Two things, almost incompatible, are united in me in a manner which I am unable to understand: a very ardent temperament, lively and tumultuous passions, and, at the same time, slowly developed and confused ideas, which never present themselves until it is too late. One might say that my heart and my mind do not belong to the same person.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
You forget that the fruits belong to all and that the land belongs to no one.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Liberty is not to be found in any form of government she is in the heart of the free man he bears her with him everywhere.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
A person who can break wind is not dead.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
