I long remained a child, and I am still one in many respects.
From Jean-Jacques Rousseau
We are born, so to speak, twice over; born into existence, and born into life; born a human being, and born a man.
No man has any natural authority over his fellow men.
A feeble body weakens the mind.
Man was born free, and he is everywhere in chains.
The English think they are free. They are free only during the election of members of parliament.
Gratitude is a duty which ought to be paid, but which none have a right to expect.
We should not teach children the sciences; but give them a taste for them.
Our greatest evils flow from ourselves.
Happiness: a good bank account, a good cook, and a good digestion.
