There are always four sides to a story: your side, their side, the truth and what really happened.

Liberty is obedience to the law which one has laid down for oneself

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

I love idleness. I love to busy myself about trifles, to begin a hundred things and not finish one of them, to come and go as my fancy bids me, to change my plan every moment, to follow a fly in all its circlings, to try and uproot a rock to see what is underneath, eagerly to begin a ten-years' task to give it up after ten minutes: in short, to fritter away the whole day inconsequentially and incoherently, and to follow nothing but the whim of the moment.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

It is manifestly contrary to the law of nature, however defined, that a handful of people should gorge themselves with superfluities while the hungry majority goes in need of necessities.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

It is to law alone that men o...

It is to law alone that men owe justice and liberty. It is this salutary organ, of the will of all which establishes in civil rights the natural equality between men. It is this celestial voice which dictates to each citizen the precepts of public reason, and teaches him to act according to the rules of his own judgment and not to behave inconsistently with himself. It is with this voice alone that political leaders should speak when. they command.

One can buy anything with money except morality.

We are reduced to asking others what we are. We never dare to ask ourselves.

To be sane in a world of madman is in itself madness.

Temperance and labor are the two best physicians of man; labor sharpens the appetite, and temperance prevents from indulging to excess

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

A man speaks of what he knows, a woman of what pleases her: the one requires knowledge, the other taste.

Our greatest misfortunes come to us from ourselves.

Trust your heart rather than your head.

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

The only moral lesson which is suited for a child--the most important lesson for every time of life--is this: 'Never hurt anybody.

People in their natural state are basically good. But this natural innocence,however, is corrupted by the evils of society.

Why should we build our happiness on the opinons of others, when we can find it in our own hearts?

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

Socrates dies with honor, surrounded by his disciples listening to the most tender words -the easiest death that one could wish to die. Jesus dies in pain, dishonor, mockery, the object of universal cursing - the most horrible death that one could fear. At the receipt of the cup of poison, Socrates blesses him who could not give it to him without tears; Jesus, while suffering the sharpest pains, prays for His most bitter enemies. If Socrates lived and died like a philosopher, Jesus lived and died like a god.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

Education is either from nature, from man or from things. The developing of our faculties and organs is the education of nature; that of man is the application we learn to make of this very developing; and that of things is the experience we acquire in regard to the different objects by which we are affected. All that we have not at our birth, and that we stand in need of at the years of maturity, is the gift of education.

Do you not know...that a child badly taught is farther from being wise than one not taught at all?
