More quotes by 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
There cannot any one moral rule be proposed whereof a man may not justly demand a reason.
John Locke
There are a thousand ways to Wealth, but only one way to Heaven.
John Locke
Whosoever is found variable, and changeth manifestly without manifest cause, giveth suspicion of corruption: therefore, always, when thou changest thine opinion or course, profess it plainly, and declare it, together with the reasons that move thee to change.
John Locke
Those are not at all to be tolerated who deny the being of God. Promises, covenants, and oaths, which are the bonds of human society, can have no hold upon an atheist. The taking away of God, though but even in thought, dissolves all.
John Locke
Things of this world are in so constant a flux, that nothing remains long in the same state.
John Locke
If we will disbelieve everything, because we cannot certainly know all things, we shall do much what as wisely as he who would not use his legs, but sit still and perish, because he had no wings to fly.
John Locke
God, when he makes the prophet, does not unmake the man.
John Locke
It is easier for a tutor to command than to teach.
John Locke
I find every sect, as far as reason will help them, make use of it gladly: and where it fails them, they cry out, It is a matter of faith, and above reason.
John Locke
It is vain to find fault with those arts of deceiving wherein men find pleasure to be deceived.
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
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
Certain subjects yield a general power that may be applied in any direction and should be studied by all.
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
What worries you, masters you.
John Locke
To give a man full knowledge of morality, I would send him to no other book than the New Testament.
John Locke
Crooked things may be as stiff and unflexible as streight: and Men may be as positive and peremptory in Error as in Truth.
John Locke
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
I am sure, zeal or love for truth can never permit falsehood to be used in the defense of it.
John Locke
