More quotes by John Locke
Children (nay, and men too) do most by example.
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
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
The visible mark of extraordinary wisdom and power appear so plainly in all the works of creation.
John Locke
Where all is but dream, reasoning and arguments are of no use, truth and knowledge nothing.
John Locke
If the innocent honest Man must quietly quit all he has for Peace sake, to him who will lay violent hands upon it, I desire it may be considered what kind of Peace there will be in the World, which consists only in Violence and Rapine and which is to be maintained only for the benefit of Robbers and Oppressors.
John Locke
For a man's property is not at all secure, though there be good and equitable laws to set the bounds of it, between him and his fellow subjects, if he who commands those subjects, have power to take from any private man, what part he pleases of his property, and use and dispose of it as he thinks good.
John Locke
A sound mind in a sound body is a short but full description of a happy state in this world.
John Locke
The end of law is not to abolish or restrain, but to preserve and enlarge freedom. For in all the states of created beings capable of law, where there is no law, there is no freedom.
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 only fence against the world is a thorough knowledge of it.
John Locke
Let not men think there is no truth, but in the sciences that they study, or the books that they read.
John Locke
God is the place of spirits, as spaces are the places of bodies.
John Locke
Where there is no law there is no freedom.
John Locke
There are a thousand ways to Wealth, but only one way to Heaven.
John Locke
New opinions are always suspected, and usually opposed, without any other reason but because they are not already common.
John Locke
In the discharge of thy place set before thee the best examples for imitation is a globe of precepts.
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
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
Every man has a property in his own person. This nobody has a right to, but himself.
John Locke
