Jean-Jacques Rousseau Quotes
Ancient Politicians Talked Incessantly About Morality And Virtue; Our Politicians Talk Only About Business And Money. One Will Tell You That In A Particular Country A Man Is Worth The Sum He Could Be Sold For In Algiers; Another, By Following This Calculation, Will Find Countries Where A Man Is Worth Nothing, And Others Where He Is Worth Less Than Nothing. They Assess Men Like Herds Of Livestock. According To Them, A Man Has No Value To The State Apart From What He Consumes In It. Thus One Sybarite Would Have Been Worth At Least Thirty Lacedaemonians. Would Someone Therefore Hazard A Guess Which Of These Two Republics, Sparta Or Sybaris, Was Overthrown By A Handful Of Peasants And Which One Made Asia Tremble?
