Jean Jacques Rousseau

Jean Jacques Rousseau
Happiness: a good bank account, a good cook and a good digestion.
Jean Jacques Rousseau
To renounce liberty is to renounce being a man, to surrender the rights of humanity and even its duties. For he who renounces everything no indemnity is possible. Such a renunciation is incompatible with man's nature; to remove all liberty from his will is to remove all morality from his acts.
Jean Jacques Rousseau

Jean Jacques Rousseau, Emile, 1762
The happiest is the person who suffers the least pain; the most miserable who enjoys the least pleasure.
Jean Jacques Rousseau, The Social Contract, 1762
The strongest is never strong enough to be always the master, unless he transforms strength into right, and obedience into duty.
