More quotes by 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
To love our neighbor as ourselves is such a truth for regulating human society, that by that alone one might determine all the cases in social morality.
John Locke
There cannot be greater rudeness than to interrupt another in the current of his discourse.
John Locke
There is not so contemptible a plant or animal that does not confound the most enlarged understanding.
John Locke
If we will disbelieve everything, because we cannot certainly know all things, we shall do much what as wisely as he who would not use his legs, but sit still and perish, because he had no wings to fly.
John Locke
Curiosity in children, is but an appetite for knowledge. The great reason why children abandon themselves wholly to silly pursuits and trifle away their time insipidly is, because they find their curiosity balked, and their inquiries neglected.
John Locke
It is labour indeed that puts the difference on everything.
John Locke
Where there is no law there is no freedom.
John Locke
New opinions are always suspected, and usually opposed, without any other reason but because they are not already common.
John Locke
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
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
To give a man full knowledge of morality, I would send him to no other book than the New Testament.
John Locke
Who lies for you will lie against you.
John Locke
Reason must be our last judge and guide in everything.
John Locke
All mankind... being all equal and independent, no one ought to harm another in his life, health, liberty or possessions.
John Locke
Wherever Law ends, Tyranny begins.
John Locke
Education begins the gentleman, but reading, good company, and reflection must finish him.
John Locke
Error is none the better for being common, nor truth the worse for having lain neglected.
John Locke
There is frequently more to be learned from the unexpected questions of a child than the discourses of men.
John Locke
Certainly great persons had need to borrow other men's opinions to think themselves happy for if they judge by their own feeling, they cannot find it: but if they think with themselves what other men think of them, and that other men would fain be as they are, then they are happy as it were by report, when, perhaps, they find the contrary within.
John Locke
