Jean Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778)

Watch a cat when it enters a room for the first time. It searches and smells about, it is not quiet for a moment, it trusts nothing until it has examined and made acquaintance with everything. -- Jean Jacques Rousseau Do not judge, and you will never be mistaken. -- Jean Jacques Rousseau We are born weak, we need strength; helpless, we need aid; foolish, we need reason. All that we lack at birth, all that we need when we come to man's estate, is the gift of education -- Jean Jacques Rousseau To endure is the first thing that a child ought to learn, and that which he will have the most need to know. -- Jean Jacques Rousseau
