Emile, or On Education Quotes

The man who has lived the most is not he who has counted the most years but he who has most felt life. - Jean-Jacques Rousseau (Emile, or On Education Quotes)

The man who has lived the most is not he who has counted the most years but he who has most felt life.[L’homme qui a le plus vécu n’est pas celui qui a compté le plus d’années; mais celui qui a le plus senti la vie.]
