Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

And when the relics of humanit...

And when the relics of humanity left among the Spaniards induced them to forbid their lawyers to set foot in America, what must they have thought of jurisprudence? May it not be said that they thought, by this single expedient, to make reparation for all the outrages they had committed against the unhappy Indians?

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

Usurpers always bring about or...

Usurpers always bring about or select troublous times to get passed, under cover of the public terror, destructive laws, which the people would never adopt in cold blood. The moment chosen is one of the surest means of distinguishing the work of the legislator from that of the tyrant.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

An intelligent being, is the active principle of all things. One must have renounced all common sense to doubt it, and it is a waste of time to try to prove such self evident truth.

Rather suffer an injustice than commit one.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

War is then not a relationship...

War is then not a relationship between one man and another, but a relationship between one State and another, in which individuals are enemies only by accident, not as men, nor even as citizens, but as soldiers; not as members of the fatherland, but as its defenders. Finally, any State can only have other States, and not men, as enemies, inasmuch as it is impossible to fix a true relation between things of different natures.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

There is no subjection so perf...

There is no subjection so perfect as that which keeps the appearance of freedom.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

The freedom of Mankind does no...

The freedom of Mankind does not lie in the fact that can do what we want, but that we do not have to do that which we do not want.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

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.
