More quotes by Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Good laws lead to the making of better ones bad ones bring about worse.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The happiest is he who suffers least the most miserable is he who enjoys least.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Why should we build our happiness on the opinons of others, when we can find it in our own hearts?
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 social compact sets up among the citizens as equality of such kind, that they all bind themselves to observe the same conditions and should therefore all enjoy the same rights.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The mechanism she employs is much more powerful than ours, for all her levers move the human heart.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Men speak from knowledge, women from imagination.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Money is the seed of money.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
There is a period of life when we go back as we advance. [Fr., Il est un terme de la vie au-dela duquel en retrograde en avancant.]
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
I do not know is a phrase which becomes us.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Childhood has it's own way of seeing, thinking, and feeling, and nothing is more foolish than to try to substitute ours for theirs.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
There is a period in life when we go backwards as we advance.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Provided a man is not mad, he can be cured of every folly but vanity.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Luxury either comes of riches or makes them necessary it corrupts at once rich and poor, the rich by possession and the poor by covetousness.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Watch a cat when it enters a room for the first time. It searches and smells about, it is not quiet for a moment, it trusts nothing until it has examined and made acquaintance with everything.
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
Every free action has two causes that come together to produce it. One is moral, the will that determines the act the other is physical, the power that executes the will to act.
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
The empire of woman is an empire of softness, of address, of complacency. Her commands are caresses, her menaces are tears.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
We do not know what really good or bad fortune is.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
