 Jean-Jacques Rousseau

“The only one who does his own will is he who, in order to do it,has no needto put another’s arms at the end of his own; from which it follows that the first of all goods is not authority but freedom.
The truly free man wantsonly what he can do and does what he pleases.
That is my fundamentalmaxim. It need only be applied to childhood for all the rules ofeducation to flow from it.”
