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

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

“People who know little are usually great talkers, while men who know much say little. It is plain than an ignorant person thinks everything he does know important, and he tells it to everybody. But a well-educated man is not so ready to display his learning; he would have too much to say, and he sees that there is much more to be said, so he holds his peace.”

“The truth brings no man a fortune.”

“If you’re reading these words, perhaps it’s because something has kicked open the door for you, and you’re ready to embrace change.

We need to create change for ourselves, in a workable way, as part of our everyday lives.”

“You look up when you wish to be exalted. And I look down because I am exalted.”

“Wisdom is not the absence of mistakes, but the ability to transform them.”

“If you rest, you rust.”

“Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.”

“The more you seek security, the less of it you have. But the more you seek”
