Sivu 169 - THE first man who, having enclosed a piece of ground, bethought himself of saying This is mine, and found people simple enough to believe him, was the real founder of civil society.
Sivu 168 - ... a just mean between the indolence of the primitive state and the petulant activity of our egoism, must have been the happiest and most stable of epochs.
Sivu 183 - I have lived with communities of savages in South America and in the East, who have no laws or law courts but the public Opinion of the village freely expressed. Each man scrupulously respects the rights of his fellow, and any infraction of those rights rarely or never takes place. In such a community, all are nearly equal.
Sivu 130 - Pedagogy," p. 286. All at once I felt myself dazzled by a thousand sparkling lights; crowds of vivid ideas thronged into my mind with a force and confusion which threw me into unspeakable agitation ; I felt my head whirling in a giddiness like that of intoxication.
Sivu 72 - I rose with the sun and I was happy ; I went to walk and I was happy ; I saw 'Maman' and I was happy ; I left her and I was happy. I rambled...

Sivu 165 - ... and that his intelligence made no more progress than his vanity. If by chance he made some discovery, he was all the less able to communicate it to others because he did not even know his own children.
Sivu 224 - To pluck so gracious a flower of hope on the edge of the sombre echoless gulf of nothingness into which our friend has slid silently down, is a natural impulse of the sensitive soul, numbing remorse and giving a moment's relief to the hunger and thirst of a tenderness that has been robbed of its object ; yet would not men be more likely to have...
Sivu 37 - Never," he says, in his account of this hateful action, "was wickedness further from me than at this cruel moment; and when I accused the poor girl, it is contradictory and yet it is true that my affection for her was the cause of what I did.
