Jean-Jacques Rousseau said this quote

“ A child who passes through many hands in turn, can never be well brought up. At every change he makes a secret comparison, which continually tends to lessen his respect for those who control him, and with it their authority over him. If once he thinks there are grown-up people with no more sense than children the authority of age is destroyed and his education is ruined. ”

Every person has a right to risk their own life for the preservation of it.

~ Jean-Jacques Rousseau

It is too difficult to think nobly when one thinks only of earning a living.

~ Jean-Jacques Rousseau

To live is not to breathe but to act. It is to make use of our organs, our senses, our faculties, of all the parts of ourselves which give us the sentiment of our existence. The man who has lived the most is not he who has counted the most years but he who has most felt life.

~ Jean-Jacques Rousseau
