Additional quotes by Jean-Jacques Rousseau
. . . Aristotle . . . said that men were not at all euqal by nature, since some were born for slavery and others born to be masters.
Aristotle was right; but he mistook the effect for the cause . . . if there are slaves by nature, it is only because there has been slavery against nature. Force made the first slaves; and their cowardice perpetuates their slavery.
