More quotes by John Locke
To give a man full knowledge of morality, I would send him to no other book than the New Testament.
John Locke
Mathematical proofs, like diamonds, are hard and clear, and will be touched with nothing but strict reasoning.
John Locke
How then shall they have the play-games you allow them, if none must be bought for them? 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
Justice and truth are the common ties of society
John Locke
Curiosity in children is but an appetite for knowledge.
John Locke
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
Where all is but dream, reasoning and arguments are of no use, truth and knowledge nothing.
John Locke
Logic is the anatomy of thought.
John Locke
It is practice alone that brings the powers of the mind, as well as those of the body, to their perfection.
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
Knowledge being to be had only of visible and certain truth, error is not a fault of our knowledge, but a mistake of our judgment, giving assent to that which is not true.
John Locke
Who hath a prospect of the different state of perfect happiness or misery that attends all men after this life, depending on their behavior, the measures of good and evil that govern his choice are mightily changed.
John Locke
If punishment reaches not the mind and makes not the will supple, it hardens the offender.
John Locke
The business of education is not to make the young perfect in any one of the sciences, but so to open and dispose their minds as may best make them - capable of any, when they shall apply themselves to it.
John Locke
Who are we to tell anyone what they can or can't do?
John Locke
Where there is no property there is no injustice.
John Locke
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
What worries you, masters you.
John Locke
Revelation in matters where reason cannot judge, or but probably, ought to be hearkened to. First, Whatever proposition is revealed, of whose truth our mind, by its natural faculties and notions, cannot judge, that is purely matter of faith, and above reason.
John Locke
A sound mind in a sound body is a short but full description of a happy state in this world.
John Locke
