More quotes by Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Do not judge, and you will never be mistaken.
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
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
Take from the philosopher the pleasure of being heard and his desire for knowledge ceases.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The social pact, far from destroying natural equality, substitutes, on the contrary, a moral and lawful equality for whatever physical inequality that nature may have imposed on mankind so that however unequal in strength and intelligence, men become equal by covenant and by right.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Remorse sleeps in the atmosphere of prosperity.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
I do not know is a phrase which becomes us.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
O love, if I regret the age when one savors you, it is not for the hour of pleasure, but for the one that follows it.
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
It is well known that a loose and easy dress contributes much to give to both sexes those fine proportions of body that are observable in the Grecian statues, and which serve as models to our present artists.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Nature wants children to be children before men... Childhood has its own seeing, thinking and feeling.
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
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
If there wasn't a God we would have to invent one to keep people sane.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The bigger a state becomes the more liberty diminishes.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The political body, therefore, is also a moral being which has a will and this general will, which tends always to the conservation and well-being of the whole and of each part of it ... is, for all members of the state ... the rule of what is just or unjust.
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
I have never believed that man's freedom consisted in doing what he wants, but rather in never doing what he does not want to do.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The world of reality has its limits the world of imagination is boundless.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
He thinks like a philosopher, but governs like a king.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
