Emile
Or, On Education (1762)
It is enough for me that, wherever men are born into the world,
my suggestions with regard to them may be carried out, and when
you have made them what I would have them be, you have done what
is best for them and best for other people. If I fail to fulfil
this promise, no doubt I am to blame; but if I fulfil my promise,
it is your own fault if you ask anything more of me, for I have
promised you nothing more.--from the Author's Preface
