"Man was born free, and he is everywhere in chains."

"People who know little are usually great talkers, while men who know much say little."

"Absolute silence leads to sadness. It is the image of death."

jean-jacques rousseau

Rousseau wrote the novel The Social Contract, in which he stated a society should focus on the relationships between all its inhabitants; basically, that the government should serve the will of its people, something the founding fathers incorporated into the initial government.
