More quotes by 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
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
It is unnatural for a majority to rule, for a majority can seldom be organized and united for specific action, and a minority can.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Do not judge, and you will never be mistaken.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Girls must be thwarted early in life.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Trust your heart rather than your head.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Whoever blushes is already guilty true innocence is ashamed of nothing.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Patience patience quotes is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The French, for example, are a contemptible nation.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
A person who can break wind is not dead.
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
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
Our greatest evil flows from ourselves.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Love, known to the person by whom it is inspired, becomes more bearable.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Supreme happiness consists in self-content.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
