More quotes by John Locke
With books we stand on the shoulders of giants.
John Locke
There cannot any one moral rule be proposed whereof a man may not justly demand a reason.
John Locke
God, when he makes the prophet, does not unmake the man.
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
He that will make good use of any part of his life must allow a large part of it to recreation.
John Locke
False and doubtful positions, relied upon as unquestionable maxims, keep those who build on them in the dark from truth. Such are usually the prejudices imbibed from education, party, reverence, fashion, interest, et cetera.
John Locke
The Legislative cannot transfer the Power of Making Laws to any other hands. For it being but a delegated Power from the People, they who have it, cannot pass it over to others. The People alone can appoint the Form of the Commonwealth, which is by Constituting the Legislative, and appointing in whose hands that shall be.
John Locke
Fortitude is the guard and support of the other virtues.
John Locke
Who lies for you will lie against you.
John Locke
Is it worth the name of freedom to be at liberty to play the fool?
John Locke
Where there is no law there is no freedom.
John Locke
The only fence against the world is a thorough knowledge of it.
John Locke
There is frequently more to be learned from the unexpected questions of a child than the discourses of men.
John Locke
The visible mark of extraordinary wisdom and power appear so plainly in all the works of creation.
John Locke
Consciousness is the perception of what passes in man's own mind.
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
The dread of evil is a much more forcible principle of human actions than the prospect of good.
John Locke
To ask at what time a man has first any ideas is to ask when he begins to perceive having ideas and perception being the same thing.
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
The least and most imperceptible impressions received in our infancy have consequences very important and of long duration.
John Locke
