Additional quotes by Jean-Jacques Rousseau

He who knows enough of things to value them at their true worth never says too much; for he can also judge of the attention bestowed on him and the interest aroused by what he says. People who know little are usually great talkers, while men who know much say little. It is plain that 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.

"Doğru adamla öteki arasındaki fark şudur: Toplum insanı, kendinden hiçbir özveri istemeyen gerçeğe kesin olarak bağlıdır; daha ileri gidemez; oysa benim düşündüğüm insan, gerçeğe, ancak feda olması gerektiğinde hizmet eder.
Onda beğendiğim gerçek aşkı, böyle bir gevşeklikle nasıl bağdaşır diyeceksiniz. Bu bulaşıcı aşk, yalancı mı? Hayır, saf ve temizdir; ama, adaletin sözcüsü olduğundan, çoğu kez "söylencesel" olmakla birlikte, sahte olmak istemez. Onun için gerçek ve adalet sözleri eşanlamlıdır; her ikisini de gelişigüzel kullanır. Tapındığı kutsal gerçek, herkesin hakkı olanı herkese eksiksiz tanımaktır. Kimseye zarar vermek istemediği için başkasına karşı da sahtelik etmediği gibi, kendisinin olmayanı kabul etmediği için kendi benliğine karşı da sahte değildir."

From this moment there would be no question of virtue or morality; for despotism cui ex honesto nulla est spes, wherever it prevails, admits no other master; it no sooner speaks than probity and duty lose their weight and blind obedience is the only virtue which slaves can still practice.
