I don't know what is truth,but I can tell you how to find it!
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
No man has any natural authority over his fellow men.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Insults are the arguments employed by those who are in the wrong.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Free people, remember this maxim: we may acquire liberty, but it is never recovered if it is once lost.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The social compact sets up among the citizens as equality of such kind, that they all bind themselves to observe the same conditions and should therefore all enjoy the same rights.
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
I may be no better, but at least I am different.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Anticipation and Hope are born twins.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
He thinks like a philosopher, but governs like a king.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Being wealthy isn't just a question of having lots of money. It's a question of what we want. Wealth isn't an absolute, it's relative to desire. Every time we seek something that we can't afford, we can be counted as poor, how much money we may actually have.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
But remain the teacher of the young teachers. Advise and direct us, and we will be ready to learn. I will have need of you as long as I live.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
In truth, laws are always useful to those with possessions and harmful to those who have nothing from which it follows that the social state is advantageous to men only when all possess something and none has too much.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Our greatest evil flows from ourselves.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Supreme happiness consists in self-content.
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
Man is born free and everywhere he is in chains.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The more humanity owes him, the more society denies him. Every door is shut against him, even when he has a right to its being opened: and if he ever obtains justice, it is with much greater difficulty than others obtain favors.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The French, for example, are a contemptible nation.
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 easier to conquer than to administer. With enough leverage, a finger could overturn the world but to support the world, one must have the shoulders of Hercules.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
