Additional quotes by Jean-Jacques Rousseau

The savage lives within himself; social man lives always outside himself; he knows how to live only in the opinion of others, it is, so to speak, from their judgement alone that he derives the sense of his own existence. It is not my subject here to show how such a disposition gives birth to so much indifference to good and evil coupled with such beautiful talk about morality; or how, as everything is reduced to appearances, everything comes to be false and warped: honour, friendship, virtue, and often even vices themselves, since in the end men discover the secret of boasting about vices; or show how, as a result of always asking others what we are and never daring to put the question to ourselves in the midst of so much philosophy, humanity, civility and so many sublime maxims, we have only façades, deceptive and frivolous, honour without virtue, reason without wisdom, and pleasure without happiness.

Trên hết, ta có thể nói rằng, trong tình trạng văn minh, con người còn thủ đắc thêm tự do luân lý mà chỉ có nó mới biến con người thành chủ nhân đích thực của chính mình, bởi vì chiều theo dục vọng là nô lệ, và tuân hành luật lệ do chính mình đặt ra là có được tự do.

mientras que un pueblo se ve forzado a obedecer, hace bien, si obedece; tan pronto como puede sacudir el yugo, si lo sacude, obra mucho mejor; pues recobrando su libertad por el mismo derecho con que se la han quitado, o tiene motivos para recuperarla, o no tenían ninguno para privarle de ella los que tal hicieron. Pero el orden social es un derecho sagrado que sirve de base a todos los demás. Este derecho, sin embargo, no viene de la naturaleza; luego se funda en convenciones.
