Additional quotes by Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Todo hombre puede grabar tablas de piedra, o comprar un oráculo, o fingir un comercio secreto con alguna divinidad, o amaestrar un pájaro para hablarle al oído, o encontrar medios groseros para imponer aquéllas a un pueblo. El que no sepa más que esto, podrá hasta reunir un ejército de insensatos; pero nunca fundará un imperio, y su extravagante obra perecerá enseguida con él. Vanos prestigios forman un vínculo pasajero; sólo la sapiencia puede hacerlo duradero.
