Additional quotes by Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Cuando los hombres inocentes y virtuosos gustaban de tener a los dioses por testigos de sus actos, vivían juntos en las mismas cabañas; pero en seguida se volvieron malvados, se hastiaron de esos incómodos espectadores y los relegaron dentro de templos magníficos.

Destitute of valid reasons to justify and sufficient strength to defend himself, able to crush individuals with ease, but easily crushed himself by a troop of bandits, one against all, and incapable, on account of mutual jealousy, of joining with his equals against numerous enemies united by the common hope of plunder, the rich man, thus urged by necessity, conceived at length the profoundest plan that ever entered the mind of man: this was to employ in his favour the forces of those who attacked him, to make allies of his adversaries, to inspire them with different maxims, and to give them other institutions as favourable to himself as the law of nature was unfavourable.
