Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Let the trumpet of the day of judgment sound when it will, I shall appear with this book in my hand before the Sovereign Judge, and cry with a loud voice, This is my work, there were my thoughts, and thus was I. I have freely told both the good and the bad, have hid nothing wicked, added nothing good.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
A person who can break wind is not dead.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The want of occupation is no less the plague of society than of solitude.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Definitions would be good things if we did not use words to make them.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
A man who is not a fool can rid himself of every folly except vanity.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
