“The only moral lesson which is suited for a child--the most important lesson for every time of life--is this: 'Never hurt anybody.”
― Rousseau, Emile, or On Education

“In all the ills that befall us, we are more concerned by the intention than the result. A tile that falls off a roof may injure us more seriously, but it will not wound us so deeply as a stone thrown deliberately by a malevolent hand. The blow may miss, but the intention always strikes home.”
― Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Reveries of the Solitary Walker
