More quotes by John Locke
Fortitude is the guard and support of the other virtues.
John Locke
Defects and weakness in men's understandings, as well as other faculties, come from want of a right use of their own minds I am apt to think, the fault is generally mislaid upon nature, and there is often a complaint of want of parts, when the fault lies in want of a due improvement of them.
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
We should have a great fewer disputes in the world if words were taken for what they are, the signs of our ideas only, and not for things themselves.
John Locke
Is it worth the name of freedom to be at liberty to play the fool?
John Locke
Error is none the better for being common, nor truth the worse for having lain neglected.
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
The difference, so observable in men's understandings and parts, does not arise so much from their natural faculties, as acquired habits.
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
Many a good poetic vein is buried under a trade, and never produces any thing for want of improvement.
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
Good and evil, reward and punishment, are the only motives to a rational creature
John Locke
You shall find, that there cannot be a greater spur to the attaining what you would have the eldest learn, and know himself, than to set him upon teaching it his younger brothers and sisters.
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
Every man has a property in his own person. This nobody has a right to, but himself.
John Locke
Fashion for the most part is nothing but the ostentation of riches.
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
It is one thing to persuade, another to command one thing to press with arguments, another with penalties.
John Locke
Untruth being unacceptable to the mind of man, there is no other defence left for absurdity but obscurity.
John Locke
A sound mind in a sound body is a short but full description of a happy state in this world.
John Locke
