John Locke

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
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
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
I pretend not to teach, but to inquire.
John Locke
Reason is natural revelation, whereby the eternal father of light, and fountain of all knowledge, communicates to mankind that portion of truth which he has laid within the reach of their natural faculties: revelation is natural reason enlarged by a new set of discoveries communicated by God. . . .
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
