John Locke
Image
The only thing we are naturally afraid of is pain, or loss of pleasure. And because these are not annexed to any shape, colour, or size of visible objects, we are frighted of none of them, till either we have felt pain from them, or have notions put into us that they will do us harm.
John Locke
Image
I have always thought the actions of men the best interpreters of their thoughts.
John Locke

I have no reason to suppose that he, who would take away my Liberty, would not when he had me in his Power, take away everything else.
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
Image
The business of education is not to make the young perfect in any one of the sciences, but so to open and dispose their minds as may best make them - capable of any, when they shall apply themselves to it.
John Locke
Image
You shall find, that there cannot be a greater spur to the attaining what you would have the eldest learn, and know himself, than to set him upon teaching it his younger brothers and sisters.
John Locke
Image
Revolt is the right of the people
John Locke
Image
All mankind... being all equal and independent, no one ought to harm another in his life, health, liberty or possessions.
John Locke
Image
I pretend not to teach, but to inquire.
John Locke
Image
If any one shall claim a power to lay and levy taxes on the people by his own authority and without such consent of the people, he thereby invades the fundamental law of property, and subverts the end of government.
John Locke
Image
Curiosity in children, is but an appetite for knowledge. The great reason why children abandon themselves wholly to silly pursuits and trifle away their time insipidly is, because they find their curiosity balked, and their inquiries neglected.
John Locke

Who are we to tell anyone what they can or can't do?
John Locke
