Image
The least and most imperceptible impressions received in our infancy have consequences very important and of long duration.
John Locke
Image
A man may live long, and die at last in ignorance of many truths, which his mind was capable of knowing, and that with certainty.
John Locke
Image
Men in great place are thrice servants servants of the sovereign state, servants of fame, and servants of business so as they have no freedom, neither in their persons, nor in their actions, nor in their times. It is a strange desire to seek power and to lose liberty or to seek power over others, and to lose power over a man's self.
John Locke
Image
Men's happiness or misery is [for the] most part of their own making.
John Locke

John Locke

John Locke
Image
Many a good poetic vein is buried under a trade, and never produces any thing for want of improvement.
John Locke
Image
A sound mind in a sound body is a short but full description of a happy state in this world.
John Locke
Image
The senses at first let in particular Ideas, and furnish the yet empty Cabinet: And the Mind by degrees growing familiar with some of them, they are lodged in the Memory, and Names got to them.
John Locke
Image
He that will have his son have respect for him and his orders, must himself have a great reverence for his son.
John Locke
Image
There cannot any one moral rule be proposed whereof a man may not justly demand a reason.
John Locke
Image
Crooked things may be as stiff and unflexible as streight: and Men may be as positive and peremptory in Error as in Truth.
John Locke
Image
Logic is the anatomy of thought.
John Locke
Image
It is one thing to persuade, another to command one thing to press with arguments, another with penalties.
John Locke
Image
Consciousness is the perception of what passes in man's own mind.
John Locke
Image
I find every sect, as far as reason will help them, make use of it gladly: and where it fails them, they cry out, It is a matter of faith, and above reason.
John Locke
