More quotes by John Locke
Things of this world are in so constant a flux, that nothing remains long in the same state.
John Locke
All mankind... being all equal and independent, no one ought to harm another in his life, health, liberty or possessions.
John Locke
Where there is no law there is no freedom.
John Locke
If punishment reaches not the mind and makes not the will supple, it hardens the offender.
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
The people cannot delegate to government the power to do anything which would be unlawful for them to do themselves.
John Locke
Success in fighting means not coming at your opponent the way he wants to fight you.
John Locke
He that will make good use of any part of his life must allow a large part of it to recreation.
John Locke
This is to think, that men are so foolish, that they take care to avoid what mischiefs may be done them by pole-cats, or foxes but are content, nay, think it safety, to be devoured by lions.
John Locke
There is frequently more to be learned from the unexpected questions of a child than the discourses of men.
John Locke
Fashion for the most part is nothing but the ostentation of riches.
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
It is labour indeed that puts the difference on everything.
John Locke
Reason must be our last judge and guide in everything.
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 carries about him a touchstone, if he will make use of it, to distinguish substantial gold from superficial glitterings, truth from appearances. And indeed the use and benefit of this touchstone, which is natural reason, is spoiled and lost only by assuming prejudices, overweening presumption, and narrowing our minds.
John Locke
It is vain to find fault with those arts of deceiving wherein men find pleasure to be deceived.
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
Consciousness is the perception of what passes in man's own mind.
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
