Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Jean-Jacques Rousseau
One can buy anything with money except morality.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
In all the ills that befall us, we are more concerned by the intention than the result. A tile that falls off a roof may injure us more seriously, but it will not wound us so deeply as a stone thrown deliberately by a malevolent hand. The blow may miss, but the intention always strikes home.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
I would rather be a man of paradoxes than a man of prejudices.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
