Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The man who gets the most out of life is not the one who has lived it longest, but the one who has felt life most deeply.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau
No one is happy unless he respects himself.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Christ preaches only servitude and dependence... True Christians are made to be slaves.
