More quotes by Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Abstaining so as really to enjoy, is the epicurism, the very perfection, of reason.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
It has always pleased me to read while eating if I have no companion it gives me the society I lack. I devour alternately a page and a mouthful it is as though my book were dining with me.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
We are reduced to asking others what we are. We never dare to ask ourselves.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
It is in man's heart that the life of nature's spectacle exists to see it, one must feel it.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
He thinks like a philosopher, but governs like a king.
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
Being wealthy isn't just a question of having lots of money. It's a question of what we want. Wealth isn't an absolute, it's relative to desire. Every time we seek something that we can't afford, we can be counted as poor, how much money we may actually have.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Conscience is the voice of the soul, the passions are the voice of the body. It is strange that these voices often contradict each other?
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
I have resolved on an enterprise that has no precedent and will have no imitator. I want to set before my fellow human beings a man in every way true to nature and that man will be myself.
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
There is no folly of which a man who is not a fool cannot get rid except vanity of this nothing cures a man except experience of its bad consequences, if indeed anything can cure it.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The bigger a state becomes the more liberty diminishes.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
An honest man nearly always thinks justly.
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
The thirst after happiness is never extinguished in the heart of man.
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
Every artists wants to be applauded
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
All of my misfortunes come from having thought too well of my fellows.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
No man has any natural authority over his fellow men.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Posterity is always just.
