Jean-Jacques Rousseau

"I hate books; they only teach us to talk about things we know nothing about."

"People who know little are usually great talkers, while men who know much say little."

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

"Everything is good as it comes from the hands of the Maker of the world, but degenerates once it gets into the hands of man"

"The truth brings no man a fortune."

"Every person has a right to risk their own life for the preservation of it."

"I say to myself: "Who are you to measure infinite power?"

"Every person has a right to risk their own life for the preservation of it."

"I say to myself: "Who are you to measure infinite power?"

"Or, rather, let us be more simple and less vain."

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