More quotes by John Locke
Where there is no desire, there will be no industry.
John Locke
To love truth for truth's sake is the principal part of human perfection in this world, and the seed-plot of all other virtues.
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
It is one thing to show a man that he is in an error, and another to put him in possession of the truth.
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
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
Justice and truth are the common ties of society
John Locke
There are two sides, two players. One is light, the other is dark.
John Locke
In the discharge of thy place set before thee the best examples for imitation is a globe of precepts.
John Locke
Fortitude is the guard and support of the other virtues.
John Locke
Firmness or stiffness of the mind is not from adherence to truth, but submission to prejudice.
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
Parents wonder why the streams are bitter, when they themselves have poisoned the fountain.
John Locke
Where all is but dream, reasoning and arguments are of no use, truth and knowledge nothing.
John Locke
It is easier for a tutor to command than to teach.
John Locke
It is ambition enough to be employed as an under-labourer in clearing the ground a little, and removing some of the rubbish that lies in the way to knowledge.
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
Logic is the anatomy of thought.
John Locke
Knowledge being to be had only of visible and certain truth, error is not a fault of our knowledge, but a mistake of our judgment, giving assent to that which is not true.
John Locke
