Jean-Jacques Rousseau
From the first moment of life, men ought to begin learning to deserve to live and, as at the instant of birth we partake of the rights of citizenship, that instant ought to be the beginning of the exercise of our duty.
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
I would rather be a man of paradoxes than a man of prejudices.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Jean-Jacques Rousseau
A blue-stocking is the scourge of her husband, children, friends, servants, and every one. [Fr., Une femme bel-esprit est le fleau de son mari, de ses enfants, de ses amis, de ses valets, et tout le monde.]
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Everything we do not have at our birth and which we need when we are grown is given to us by education.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Although modesty is natural to man, it is not natural to children. Modesty only begins with the knowledge of evil.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
There are times when I am so unlike myself that I might be taken for someone else of an entirely opposite character.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The mechanism she employs is much more powerful than ours, for all her levers move the human heart.
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
But in some great souls, who consider themselves as citizens of the world, and forcing the imaginary barriers that separate people from people.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
