One can buy anything with money except morality.

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.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

It is manifestly contrary to ...

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

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.

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

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

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

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

Once you teach people to say ...

Once you teach people to say what they do not understand, it is easy enough to get them to say anything you like.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

Men will argue more philosophically about the human heart; but women will read the heart of man better than they.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

Childhood has it's own way of seeing, thinking, and feeling, and nothing is more foolish than to try to substitute ours for theirs.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

It is in man's heart that the life of nature's spectacle exists; to see it, one must feel it.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

The empire of woman is an empire of softness, of address, of complacency. Her commands are caresses, her menaces are tears.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

Rather suffer an injustice than commit one.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

I am not made like any of those I have seen. I venture to believe that I am not made like any of those who are in existence. If I am not better, at least I am different.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

We cannot work for others without working for ourselves.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

I perceive God everywhere in His works. I sense Him in me; I see Him all around me.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

At sixteen, the adolescent knows about suffering because he himself has suffered, but he barely knows that other beings also suffer.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

All through life a man has need of a counsellor and guide.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

Every free action has two causes that come together to produce it. One is moral, the will that determines the act; the other is physical, the power that executes the will to act.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

General abstract truth is the most precious of all blessings; without it, man is blind; it is the eye of reason.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

Sovereigns always see with pleasure a taste for the arts of amusement and superfluity, which do not result in the exportation of bullion, increase among their subjects. They very well know that, besides nourishing that littleness of mind which is proper to slavery, the increase of artificial wants only binds so many more chains upon the people.
