More quotes by John Locke
Not time is the measure of movement but: ...each constant periodic appearance of ideas.
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
Where there is no desire, there will be no industry.
John Locke
Who lies for you will lie against you.
John Locke
Struggle is nature's way of strengthening it
John Locke
General observations drawn from particulars are the jewels of knowledge, comprehending great store in a little room but they are therefore to be made with the greater care and caution, lest, if we take counterfeit for true, our loss and shame be the greater when our stock comes to a severe scrutiny.
John Locke
The only thing we are naturally afraid of is pain, or loss of pleasure. And because these are not annexed to any shape, colour, or size of visible objects, we are frighted of none of them, till either we have felt pain from them, or have notions put into us that they will do us harm.
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
Let not men think there is no truth, but in the sciences that they study, or the books that they read.
John Locke
The visible mark of extraordinary wisdom and power appear so plainly in all the works of creation.
John Locke
For a man's property is not at all secure, though there be good and equitable laws to set the bounds of it, between him and his fellow subjects, if he who commands those subjects, have power to take from any private man, what part he pleases of his property, and use and dispose of it as he thinks good.
John Locke
There are a thousand ways to Wealth, but only one way to Heaven.
John Locke
The end of law is not to abolish or restrain, but to preserve and enlarge freedom. For in all the states of created beings capable of law, where there is no law, there is no freedom.
John Locke
He that will have his son have respect for him and his orders, must himself have a great reverence for his son.
John Locke
There is frequently more to be learned from the unexpected questions of a child than the discourses of men.
John Locke
There is not so contemptible a plant or animal that does not confound the most enlarged understanding.
John Locke
A man may live long, and die at last in ignorance of many truths, which his mind was capable of knowing, and that with certainty.
John Locke
The necessity of pursuing true happiness is the foundation of all liberty- Happiness, in its full extent, is the utmost pleasure we are capable of.
John Locke
Wherever Law ends, Tyranny begins.
John Locke
He that would seriously set upon the search of truth, ought in the first place to prepare his mind with a love of it. For he that loves it not, will not take much pains to get it nor be much concerned when he misses it.
John Locke
