More quotes by John Locke
He that would seriously set upon the search of truth, ought in the first place to prepare his mind with a love of it. For he that loves it not, will not take much pains to get it nor be much concerned when he misses it.
John Locke
Beating is the worst, and therefore the last means to be us'd in the correction of children, and that only in the cases of extremity, after all gently ways have been try'd, and proved unsuccessful which, if well observ'd, there will very seldom be any need of blows.
John Locke
The dread of evil is a much more forcible principle of human actions than the prospect of good.
John Locke
There is not so contemptible a plant or animal that does not confound the most enlarged understanding.
John Locke
The necessity of pursuing true happiness is the foundation of all liberty- Happiness, in its full extent, is the utmost pleasure we are capable of.
John Locke
Things of this world are in so constant a flux, that nothing remains long in the same state.
John Locke
I pretend not to teach, but to inquire.
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
All mankind... being all equal and independent, no one ought to harm another in his life, health, liberty or possessions.
John Locke
Mathematical proofs, like diamonds, are hard and clear, and will be touched with nothing but strict reasoning.
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
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
To give a man full knowledge of morality, I would send him to no other book than the New Testament.
John Locke
Wherever Law ends, Tyranny begins.
John Locke
The visible mark of extraordinary wisdom and power appear so plainly in all the works of creation.
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
Parents wonder why the streams are bitter, when they themselves have poisoned the fountain.
John Locke
I have no reason to suppose that he, who would take away my Liberty, would not when he had me in his Power, take away everything else.
John Locke
Men's happiness or misery is [for the] most part of their own making.
John Locke
No man's knowledge here can go beyond his experience.
John Locke
