More quotes by John Locke
The difference, so observable in men's understandings and parts, does not arise so much from their natural faculties, as acquired habits.
John Locke
For a man's property is not at all secure, though there be good and equitable laws to set the bounds of it, between him and his fellow subjects, if he who commands those subjects, have power to take from any private man, what part he pleases of his property, and use and dispose of it as he thinks good.
John Locke
Parents wonder why the streams are bitter, when they themselves have poisoned the fountain.
John Locke
What humanity abhors, custom reconciles and recommends to us.
John Locke
When the sacredness of property is talked of, it should be remembered that any such sacredness does not belong in the same degree to landed property.
John Locke
Don't let the things you don't have prevent you from using what you do have.
John Locke
God, when he makes the prophet, does not unmake the man.
John Locke
Affectation is an awkward and forced imitation of what should be genuine and easy, wanting the beauty that accompanies what is natural.
John Locke
Where there is no property there is no injustice.
John Locke
Consciousness is the perception of what passes in man's own mind.
John Locke
Revelation in matters where reason cannot judge, or but probably, ought to be hearkened to. First, Whatever proposition is revealed, of whose truth our mind, by its natural faculties and notions, cannot judge, that is purely matter of faith, and above reason.
John Locke
The only thing we are naturally afraid of is pain, or loss of pleasure. And because these are not annexed to any shape, colour, or size of visible objects, we are frighted of none of them, till either we have felt pain from them, or have notions put into us that they will do us harm.
John Locke
Fashion for the most part is nothing but the ostentation of riches.
John Locke
There are a thousand ways to Wealth, but only one way to Heaven.
John Locke
We are born with faculties and powers capable almost of anything, such at least as would carry us farther than can easily be imagined: but it is only the exercise of those powers, which gives us ability and skill in any thing, and leads us towards perfection.
John Locke
I am sure, zeal or love for truth can never permit falsehood to be used in the defense of it.
John Locke
I have no reason to suppose that he, who would take away my Liberty, would not when he had me in his Power, take away everything else.
John Locke
Whosoever is found variable, and changeth manifestly without manifest cause, giveth suspicion of corruption: therefore, always, when thou changest thine opinion or course, profess it plainly, and declare it, together with the reasons that move thee to change.
John Locke
Curiosity in children is but an appetite for knowledge.
John Locke
Is it worth the name of freedom to be at liberty to play the fool?
John Locke
