Quotes by Jean-Jacques Rousseau

A feeble body weakens the mind.

I have always said and felt that true enjoyment can not be described.

We are born weak, we need strength; helpless, we need aid; foolish, we need reason. All that we lack at birth, all that we need when we come to man's estate, is the gift of education.

It is unnatural for a majority to rule, for a majority can seldom be organized and united for specific action, and a minority can.

The person who has lived the most is not the one with the most years but the one with the richest experiences.

Whoever blushes is already guilty; true innocence is ashamed of nothing.

Ordinary readers, forgive my paradoxes: one must make them when one reflects; and whatever you may say, I prefer being a man with paradoxes than a man with prejudices.

Nature never deceives us; it is we who deceive ourselves.

Heroes are not known by the loftiness of their carriage; the greatest braggarts are generally the merest cowards.

The world of reality has its limits; the world of imagination is boundless.
