Jean-Jacques Rousseau
When a man dies he clutches in his hands only that which he has given away during his lifetime.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The bigger a state becomes the more liberty diminishes.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau

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

Jean-Jacques Rousseau
[When anything happens, we interpret it as good or bad, but...] We do not know what is really good or bad fortune. [Only the future can decide. For example, what appears to be bad today may in fact lead us to a greater good tomorrow and by the very act of thinking and planning in that positive way, we can help make that good future come true.]
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
Reading, solitude, idleness, a soft and sedentary life, intercourse with women and young people, these are perilous paths for a young man, and these lead him constantly into danger.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Trust your heart rather than your head.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Quit thy childhood, my friend, and wake up!
Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Abstaining so as really to enjoy, is the epicurism, the very perfection, of reason.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
I think we cannot too strongly attack superstition, which is the disturber of society nor too highly respect genuine religion, which is the support of it.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Ordinary readers, forgive my paradoxes: one must make them when one reflects and whatever you may say, I prefer being a man with paradoxes than a man with prejudices.
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
Force does not constitute right... obedience is due only to legitimate powers.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
