John Locke

John Locke
Image
Wherever Law ends, Tyranny begins.
John Locke

John Locke
Image
Habits wear more constantly and with greatest force than reason, which, when we have most need of it, is seldom fairly consulted, and more rarely obeyed
John Locke
Image
It is vain to find fault with those arts of deceiving wherein men find pleasure to be deceived.
John Locke
Image
A king is a mortal god on earth, unto whom the living God hath lent his own name as a great honour but withal told him, he should die like a man, lest he should be proud, and flatter himself that God hath with his name imparted unto him his nature also.
John Locke
Image
To love truth for truth's sake is the principal part of human perfection in this world, and the seed-plot of all other virtues.
John Locke
Image
Reason must be our last judge and guide in everything.
John Locke
Image
There are two sides, two players. One is light, the other is dark.
John Locke
Image
Fashion for the most part is nothing but the ostentation of riches.
John Locke
Image
When the sacredness of property is talked of, it should be remembered that any such sacredness does not belong in the same degree to landed property.
John Locke
