More quotes by John Locke
Our incomes are like our shoes if too small, they gall and pinch us but if too large, they cause us to stumble and to trip.
John Locke
Education begins the gentleman, but reading, good company, and reflection must finish him.
John Locke
The only fence against the world is a thorough knowledge of it, into which a young gentleman should be enter'd by degrees, as he can bear it and the earlier the better, so he be in safe and skillful hands to guide him.
John Locke
If the innocent honest Man must quietly quit all he has for Peace sake, to him who will lay violent hands upon it, I desire it may be considered what kind of Peace there will be in the World, which consists only in Violence and Rapine and which is to be maintained only for the benefit of Robbers and Oppressors.
John Locke
[Individuals] have a right to defend themselves and recover by force what by unlawful force is taken from them.
John Locke
Habits wear more constantly and with greatest force than reason, which, when we have most need of it, is seldom fairly consulted, and more rarely obeyed
John Locke
Consciousness is the perception of what passes in man's own mind.
John Locke
There is not so contemptible a plant or animal that does not confound the most enlarged understanding.
John Locke
Understanding like the eye whilst it makes us see and perceive all things, takes no notice of itself and it requires art and pains to set it at a distance and make it its own subject.
John Locke
If punishment reaches not the mind and makes not the will supple, it hardens the offender.
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
It is labour indeed that puts the difference on everything.
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
Justice and truth are the common ties of society
John Locke
We are born with faculties and powers capable almost of anything, such at least as would carry us farther than can easily be imagined: but it is only the exercise of those powers, which gives us ability and skill in any thing, and leads us towards perfection.
John Locke
The visible mark of extraordinary wisdom and power appear so plainly in all the works of creation.
John Locke
No man's knowledge here can go beyond his experience.
John Locke
There cannot any one moral rule be proposed whereof a man may not justly demand a reason. Every man has a property in his own person. This nobody has any right to but himself. The people cannot delegate to government the power to do anything which would be unlawful for them to do themselves.
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
Affectation is an awkward and forced imitation of what should be genuine and easy, wanting the beauty that accompanies what is natural.
John Locke
