The money you have gives you freedom; the money you pursue enslaves you.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

Men and women are made for eac...

Men and women are made for each other, but their mutual dependence differs in degrees; man is dependent on woman through his desires; woman is dependent on man through her desires and also through her needs; he could do without her better than she can do without him. She cannot fulfill her purpose in life without his aid, without his goodwill, without his respect.....Nature herself has decreed that woman, both for herself and her children, should be at the mercy of man s judgment.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

God is intelligent; but in wha...

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

Whatever may be our natural talents, the art of writing is not acquired all at once.

Posterity is always just.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

Do not base your life on the j...

Do not base your life on the judgments of others; first, because they are as likely to be mistaken as you are, and further, because you cannot know that they are telling you their true thoughts.

There is not a single ill-doer who could not be turned to some good.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

If there wasn't a God we would have to invent one to keep people sane.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

It has always pleased me to read while eating if I have no companion; it gives me the society I lack. I devour alternately a page and a mouthful; it is as though my book were dining with me.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

The French, for example, are a contemptible nation.

Reason deceives us; conscience, never.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

Teach him to live rather than ...

Teach him to live rather than to avoid death: life is not breath, but action, the use of our senses, our mind, our faculties, every part of ourselves which makes us conscious of our being. Life consists less in length of days than in the keen sense of living. A man maybe buried at a hundred and may never have lived at all. He would have fared better had he died young.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

I also realized that the philo...

I also realized that the philosophers, far from ridding me of my vain doubts, only multiplied the doubts that tormented me and failed to remove any one of them. So I chose another guide and said, Let me follow the Inner Light; it will not lead me so far astray as others have done, or if it does it will be my own fault, and I shall not go so far wrong if I follow my own illusions as if I trusted to their deceits.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

Behold the works of our philos...

Behold the works of our philosophers; with all their pompous diction, how mean and contemptible they are by comparison with the Scriptures! Is it possible that a book at once so simple and sublime should be merely the work of man?

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

Everything we do not have at o...

Everything we do not have at our birth and which we need when we are grown is given to us by education.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

From the first moment of life,...

From the first moment of life, men ought to begin learning to deserve to live; and, as at the instant of birth we partake of the rights of citizenship, that instant ought to be the beginning of the exercise of our duty.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

Everything is in constant flux...

Everything is in constant flux on this earth. Nothing keeps the same unchanging shape, and our affections, being attached to things outside us, necessarily change and pass away as they do. Always out ahead of us or lagging behind, they recall a past which is gone or anticipate a future which may never come into being; there is nothing solid there for the heart to attach itself to. Thus our earthly joys are almost without exception the creatures of a moment...

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

It is as if my heart and my br...

It is as if my heart and my brain did not belong to the same person. Feelings come quicker than lightning and fill my soul, but they bring me no illumination; they burn me and dazzle me.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

Liberty may be gained, but can never be recovered.

Truth is an homage that the good man pays to his own dignity.
