John Locke
Children generally hate to be idle all the care then is that their busy humour should be constantly employed in something of use to them
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
It is practice alone that brings the powers of the mind, as well as those of the body, to their perfection.
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
Beating is the worst, and therefore the last means to be us'd in the correction of children, and that only in the cases of extremity, after all gently ways have been try'd, and proved unsuccessful which, if well observ'd, there will very seldom be any need of blows.
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
Many a good poetic vein is buried under a trade, and never produces any thing for want of improvement.
John Locke
There are a thousand ways to Wealth, but only one way to Heaven.
John Locke
When the sacredness of property is talked of, it should be remembered that any such sacredness does not belong in the same degree to landed property.
John Locke
[H]e that thinks absolute power purifies men's blood, and corrects the baseness of human nature, need read the history of this, or any other age, to be convinced to the contrary.
John Locke
Don't let the things you don't have prevent you from using what you do have.
John Locke
The only fence against the world is a thorough knowledge of it.
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
A man may live long, and die at last in ignorance of many truths, which his mind was capable of knowing, and that with certainty.
John Locke
Untruth being unacceptable to the mind of man, there is no other defence left for absurdity but obscurity.
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
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
There cannot be greater rudeness than to interrupt another in the current of his discourse.
John Locke
There is frequently more to be learned from the unexpected questions of a child than the discourses of men.
John Locke
