Philosophy Quote by Jean-Jacques Rousseau — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“The first man who, having enclosed a piece of ground, bethought himself of saying”

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

“It is too difficult to think nobly when one thinks only of earning a living.”

“I believed that I was approaching the end of my days without having tasted to the full any of the pleasures for which my heart thirsted...without having ever tasted that passion which, through lack of an object, was always suppressed. ...The impossibility of attaining the real persons precipitated me into the land of chimeras; and seeing nothing that existed worthy of my exalted feelings, I fostered them in an ideal world which my creative imagination soon peopled with beings after my own heart.”

“Man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains" - Rousseau”

“Il est le soleil qui ne se couche jamais sur l'empire de la passivité moderne. Il recouvre toute la surface du monde et baigne indéfiniment dans sa propre gloire.”

“Reason is, and ought only to be the slave of the passions.”

“I used to think I knew what was right and what was wrong, and who the good guys are, and who the bad guys are. Then the world got very gray, and I didn't know anything for a long time”

“Ben, if you get pee in my brand-new car, I am going to cut your balls off.”

“The human body resonates at the same frequency as Mother Earth. So instead of only focusing on trying to save the earth, which operates in congruence to our vibrations, I think it is more important to be one with each other. If you really want to remedy the earth, we have to mend mankind. And to unite mankind, we heal the Earth. That is the only way. Mother Earth will exist with or without us. Yet if she is sick, it is because mankind is sick and separated. And if our vibrations are bad, she reacts to it, as do all living creatures.”
