More quotes by John Locke
You shall find, that there cannot be a greater spur to the attaining what you would have the eldest learn, and know himself, than to set him upon teaching it his younger brothers and sisters.
John Locke
The only fence against the world is a thorough knowledge of it.
John Locke
'Tis true that governments cannot be supported without great charge, and it is fit everyone who enjoys a share of protection should pay out of his estate his proportion of the maintenance of it.
John Locke
There cannot any one moral rule be proposed whereof a man may not justly demand a reason. Every man has a property in his own person. This nobody has any right to but himself. The people cannot delegate to government the power to do anything which would be unlawful for them to do themselves.
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
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
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
I am sure, zeal or love for truth can never permit falsehood to be used in the defense of it.
John Locke
Wherever Law ends, Tyranny begins.
John Locke
I have no reason to suppose that he, who would take away my Liberty, would not when he had me in his Power, take away everything else.
John Locke
Neither the inveterateness of the mischief, nor the prevalency of the fashion, shall be any excuse for those who will not take care about the meaning of their own words, and will not suffer the insignificancy of their expressions to be inquired into.
John Locke
It is labour indeed that puts the difference on everything.
John Locke
In transgressing the law of nature, the offender declares himself to live by another rule than that of reason and common equity.
John Locke
If any one shall claim a power to lay and levy taxes on the people by his own authority and without such consent of the people, he thereby invades the fundamental law of property, and subverts the end of government.
John Locke
Don't let the things you don't have prevent you from using what you do have.
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
Reading furnishes the mind only with materials of knowledge it is thinking that makes what we read ours.
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 people cannot delegate to government the power to do anything which would be unlawful for them to do themselves.
John Locke
Mathematical proofs, like diamonds, are hard and clear, and will be touched with nothing but strict reasoning.
John Locke
