A Quote by Jean-Baptiste Rousseau

Who does not sufficiently hate vice, does not sufficiently love virtue. — © Jean-Baptiste Rousseau
Who does not sufficiently hate vice, does not sufficiently love virtue.
One would think that the record of already existing regulatory agencies is sufficiently eloquent in showing that it is Big Business that does the regulating rather than vice versa .
There does not exist a man sufficiently intelligent never to be tiresome.
There is scarcely any man sufficiently clever to appreciate all the evil he does.
They say that vegetable food is not sufficiently nutritious. But chemistry proves the contrary. So does physiology. So does experience....And again: the largest and strongest animals in the world are those which eat no flesh-food of any kind - the elephant and the rhinoceros.
People still look askance at a kid in the supermarket who's pitching a fit and think the parent is not sufficiently in control or not being sufficiently punitive. That's an issue for a lot of parents as well.
Anyone who does not feel sufficiently strong in memory should not meddle with lying.
He who knows how to wait for what he desires does not feel very desperate if he fails in obtaining it; and he, on the contrary, who is very impatient in procuring a certain thing, takes so much pains about it, that, even when he is successful, he does not think himself sufficiently rewarded.
I think we’re not looking sufficiently at what is happening at the grassroots in the country. We have not emphasized sufficiently the cultural revolution that we have to make among ourselves in order to force the government to do differently. Things do not start with governments.
In a sufficiently prosperous society where people specialize sufficiently, and where enough of the crappy work is done by machines, all work becomes art.
By believing passionately in something that still does not exist, we create it. The nonexistent is whatever we have not sufficiently desired.
Any policy is a success by sufficiently low standards and a failure by sufficiently high standards.
The problem of moral change would appear to be one of presenting stimuli which are both sufficiently incongruous as to stimulate conflict in the child's existing stage schemata and sufficiently congruous as to be assimilable with some accomodative effort.
No vice exists which does not pretend to be more or less like some virtue, and which does not take advantage of this assumed resemblance.
Tolerance does not...do anything, embrace anyone, champion any issue. It wipes the notes off the score of life and replaces them with one long bar of rest. It does not attack error, it does not champion truth, it does not hate evil, it does not love good.
Philanthropy is almost the only virtue which is sufficiently appreciated by mankind.
It seems to me that the only thing for a pacifist to do is to find a substitute for war: mountains and seafaring are the only ones I know. But it must be something sufficiently serious not to be a game and sufficiently dangerous to exercise those virtues which otherwise get no chance.
