The want of occupation is no less the plague of society than of solitude.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

Interest is the spur of the people, but glory that of great souls.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

It is believed that physiognom...

It is believed that physiognomy is only a simple development of the features already marked out by nature. It is my opinion, however, that in addition to this development, the features come insensibly to be formed and assume their shape from the frequent and habitual expression of certain affections of the soul. These affections are marked on the countenance; nothing is more certain than this; and when they turn into habits, they must leave on it durable impressions.

There is a period of life when we go back as we advance.
[Fr., Il est un terme de la vie au-dela duquel en retrograde en avancant.]

Remorse goes to sleep during a prosperous period and wakes up in adversity.
[Fr., Le remords s'endort durant un destin prospere et s'aigrit dans l'adversite.]

It is not our criminal actions that require courage to confess, but those which are ridiculous and foolish.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

It is well known that a loose and easy dress contributes much to give to both sexes those fine proportions of body that are observable in the Grecian statues, and which serve as models to our present artists.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

Equality is deemed by many a m...

Equality is deemed by many a mere speculative chimera, which can never be reduced to practice. But if the abuse is inevitable, does it follow that we ought not to try at least to mitigate it? It is precisely because the force of things tends always to destroy equality that the force of the legislature must always tend to maintain it.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

Physical evils destroy themsel...

Physical evils destroy themselves, or they destroy us.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

Gracefulness cannot subsist wi...

Gracefulness cannot subsist without ease; delicacy is not debility; nor must a woman be sick in order to please. Infirmity, and sickness may excite our pity, but desire and pleasure require the bloom and vigor of health.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

The science of government is only a science of combinations, of applications, and of exceptions, according to times, places and circumstances.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

To try to conceal our own heart is a bad means to read that of others.

It is always a poor way of reading the hearts of others to try to conceal our own.
[Fr., C'est toujours un mauvais moyen de lire dans le coeur des autres que d'affecter de cacher le sien.]

Men speak from knowledge, women from imagination.

The man is best served who has no occasion to put the hands of others at the end of his own arms.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

The writings of women are always cold and pretty like themselves. There is as much wit as you may desire, but never any soul.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

Many men, seemingly impelled by fortune, hasten forward to meet misfortune half way.

Our greatest misfortunes come to us from ourselves.
