More quotes by John Locke

Image
All mankind... being all equal and independent, no one ought to harm another in his life, health, liberty or possessions.
John Locke
Image
All wealth is the product of labor.
John Locke
Image
Till a man can judge whether they be truths or not, his understanding is but little improved, and thus men of much reading, though greatly learned, but may be little knowing.
John Locke
Image
Success in fighting means not coming at your opponent the way he wants to fight you.
John Locke
Image
There cannot be greater rudeness than to interrupt another in the current of his discourse.
John Locke
Image
What humanity abhors, custom reconciles and recommends to us.
John Locke
Image
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
Image
Not time is the measure of movement but: ...each constant periodic appearance of ideas.
John Locke
Image
It is one thing to show a man that he is in an error, and another to put him in possession of the truth.
John Locke
Image
Where all is but dream, reasoning and arguments are of no use, truth and knowledge nothing.
John Locke
Image
Those are not at all to be tolerated who deny the being of God. Promises, covenants, and oaths, which are the bonds of human society, can have no hold upon an atheist. The taking away of God, though but even in thought, dissolves all.
John Locke
Image
Practice conquers the habit of doing, without reflecting on the rule.
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
The visible mark of extraordinary wisdom and power appear so plainly in all the works of creation.
John Locke
Image
There are a thousand ways to Wealth, but only one way to Heaven.
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
Struggle is nature's way of strengthening it
John Locke
Image
The least and most imperceptible impressions received in our infancy have consequences very important and of long duration.
John Locke
Image
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
Image
Is it worth the name of freedom to be at liberty to play the fool?
John Locke
