He who pretends to look upon death without fear, lies

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

God is intelligent; but in wh...

God is intelligent; but in what manner? Man is intelligent by the act of reasoning, but the supreme intelligence lies under no necessity to reason. He requires neither premise nor consequences; nor even the simple form of a proposition. His knowledge is purely intuitive. He beholds equally what is and what will be. All truths are to Him as one idea, as all places are but one point, and all times one moment.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

Provided a man is not mad, he can be cured of every folly but vanity; there is no cure for this but experience, if indeed there is any cure for it at all.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

Liberty may be gained, but ca...

Liberty may be gained, but can never be recovered.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

Your first duty is to be huma...

Your first duty is to be humane. Love childhood. Look with friendly eyes on its games, its pleasures, its amiable dispositions. Which of you does not sometimes look back regretfully on the age when laughter was ever on the lips and the heart free of care? Why steal from the little innocents the enjoyment of a time that passes all too quickly?

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

There exists one book, which,...

There exists one book, which, to my taste, furnishes the happiest treatise of natural education. What then is this marvelous book? Is it Aristotle? Is it Pliny, is it Buffon? No-it is Robinson Crusoe.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

When a man dies he clutches in his hands only that which he has given away during his lifetime.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

One may live tranquilly in a dungeon; but does life consist in living quietly?

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

This dog, which, although no ...

This dog, which, although no beauty, was of an uncommon breed, I had made my friend and companion; and it certainly deserved the name better than the majority of those who had assumed it.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

Every man having been born fr...

Every man having been born free and master of himself, no one else may under any pretext whatever subject him without his consent. To assert that the son of a slave is born a slave is to assert that he is not born a man.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

We are born weak, we need stre...

We are born weak, we need strength helpless, we need aid foolish, we need reason. All that we lack at birth, all that we need when we come to man's estate, is the gift of education.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

Do I dare set forth here the m...

Do I dare set forth here the most important, the most useful rule of all education? It is not to save time, but to squander it.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

To endure is the first thing t...

To endure is the first thing that a child ought to learn, and that which he will have the most need to kn

Days of absence, sad and dreary, Clothed in sorrow's dark array, Days of absence, I am weary; She I love is far away.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

No true believer could be into...

No true believer could be intolerant or a persecutor. If I were a magistrate and the law carried the death penalty against atheists, I would begin by sending to the stake whoever denounced another.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

O love, if I regret the age wh...

O love, if I regret the age when one savors you, it is not for the hour of pleasure, but for the one that follows it.

God made me and broke the mold...

God made me and broke the mold.

No man has any natural authority over his fellow men.

Happiness: a good bank account...

Happiness: a good bank account, a good cook, and a good digestion.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

I have resolved on an enterprise that has no precedent and will have no imitator. I want to set before my fellow human beings a man in every way true to nature and that man will be myself.
