More quotes by John Locke
Education begins the gentleman, but reading, good company, and reflection must finish him.
John Locke
Knowledge being to be had only of visible and certain truth, error is not a fault of our knowledge, but a mistake of our judgment, giving assent to that which is not true.
John Locke
There are a thousand ways to Wealth, but only one way to Heaven.
John Locke
Though the familiar use of things about us take off our wonder, yet it cures not our ignorance.
John Locke
Fashion for the most part is nothing but the ostentation of riches.
John Locke
It is ambition enough to be employed as an under-labourer in clearing the ground a little, and removing some of the rubbish that lies in the way to knowledge.
John Locke
Memory is the power to revive again in our minds those ideas which after imprinting have disappeared, or have been laid aside out of sight.
John Locke

John Locke
Children generally hate to be idle all the care then is that their busy humour should be constantly employed in something of use to them
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
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
One unerring mark of the love of truth is not entertaining any proposition with greater assurance than the proofs it is built upon will warrant.
John Locke
The mind is furnished with ideas by experience alone
John Locke
Fortitude is the guard and support of the other virtues.
John Locke
Whoever uses force without Right ... puts himself into a state of War with those, against whom he uses it, and in that state all former Ties are canceled, all other Rights cease, and every one has a Right to defend himself, and to resist the Aggressor.
John Locke
Let not men think there is no truth, but in the sciences that they study, or the books that they read.
John Locke
Our incomes are like our shoes if too small, they gall and pinch us but if too large, they cause us to stumble and to trip.
John Locke
New opinions are always suspected, and usually opposed, without any other reason but because they are not already common.
John Locke
