More quotes by John Locke
What humanity abhors, custom reconciles and recommends to us.
John Locke
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
Moral laws are set as a curb and restraint to these exorbitant desires, which they cannot be but by rewards and punishments, that will over-balance the satisfaction any one shall propose to himself in the breach of the law.
John Locke
The senses at first let in particular Ideas, and furnish the yet empty Cabinet: And the Mind by degrees growing familiar with some of them, they are lodged in the Memory, and Names got to them.
John Locke
There are a thousand ways to Wealth, but only one way to Heaven.
John Locke

John Locke
That which is static and repetitive is boring. That which is dynamic and random is confusing. In between lies art.
John Locke

John Locke

John Locke
Many a good poetic vein is buried under a trade, and never produces any thing for want of improvement.
John Locke
The chief art of learning is to attempt but a little at a time.
John Locke
When ideas float in our mind, without any reflection or regard of the understanding, it is that which the French call reverie.
John Locke
All wealth is the product of labor.
John Locke
I attribute the little I know to my not having been ashamed to ask for information, and to my rule of conversing with all descriptions of men on those topics that form their own peculiar professions and pursuits.
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 visible mark of extraordinary wisdom and power appear so plainly in all the works of creation.
John Locke
Curiosity in children is but an appetite for knowledge.
John Locke
Men's happiness or misery is [for the] most part of their own making.
John Locke
Certain subjects yield a general power that may be applied in any direction and should be studied by all.
John Locke
There is not so contemptible a plant or animal that does not confound the most enlarged understanding.
John Locke
