John Locke
Image

John Locke
Image

I answer, they should make them themselves, or at least endeavour it, and set themselves about it. ...And if you help them where they are at a stand, it will more endear you to them than any chargeable toys that you shall buy for them.
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

The body of People may with Respect resist intolerable Tyranny.
John Locke
Image
Good and evil, reward and punishment, are the only motives to a rational creature
John Locke
Image
If the Gospel and the Apostles may be credited, no man can be a Christian without charity, and without that faith which works, not by force, but by love.
John Locke
Image
If punishment reaches not the mind and makes not the will supple, it hardens the offender.
John Locke
Image
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

Consciousness is the perception of what passes in man's own mind.
