More quotes by John Locke
General observations drawn from particulars are the jewels of knowledge, comprehending great store in a little room but they are therefore to be made with the greater care and caution, lest, if we take counterfeit for true, our loss and shame be the greater when our stock comes to a severe scrutiny.
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
The chief art of learning is to attempt but a little at a time.
John Locke
There is not so contemptible a plant or animal that does not confound the most enlarged understanding.
John Locke
To love our neighbor as ourselves is such a truth for regulating human society, that by that alone one might determine all the cases in social morality.
John Locke
Reading furnishes the mind only with materials of knowledge it is thinking that makes what we read ours.
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
Revolt is the right of the people
John Locke
Reason must be our last judge and guide in everything.
John Locke
Where all is but dream, reasoning and arguments are of no use, truth and knowledge nothing.
John Locke
Whosoever will list himself under the banner of Christ, must, in the first place and above all things, make war upon his own lusts and vices. It is in vain for any man to usurp the name of Christian, without holiness of life, purity of manners, benignity and meekness of spirit.
John Locke
When ideas float in our mind, without any reflection or regard of the understanding, it is that which the French call reverie.
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
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
The power of the legislative being derived from the people by a positive voluntary grant and institution, can be no other than what that positive grant conveyed, which being only to make laws, and not to make legislators, the legislative can have no power to transfer their authority of making laws, and place it in other hands.
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
'Tis true that governments cannot be supported without great charge, and it is fit everyone who enjoys a share of protection should pay out of his estate his proportion of the maintenance of it.
John Locke
Children have as much mind to show that they are free, that their own good actions come from themselves, that they are absolute and independent, as any of the proudest of you grown men, think of them as you please.
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
