About Rousseau

b. 1712 CE - d. 1778 CE

"The uniform, constant, and uninterrupted effort of every man to better his condition, the principle from which public and national, as well as private, opulence is originally derived is frequently powerful enough to maintain the natural progress of things toward improvement in spite of both the extravagance of government and of the greatest errors of administration. Like the unknown principle of animal life, it frequently restores health and vigor to the constitution in spite, not only of the disease, but of the absurd prescriptions of the doctor."
- Rousseau
