To give a man full knowledge of morality, I would send him to no other book than the New Testament.
John Locke
Image
Logic is the anatomy of thought.
John Locke
Image
Affectation is an awkward and forced imitation of what should be genuine and easy, wanting the beauty that accompanies what is natural.
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
Moral laws are set as a curb and restraint to these exorbitant desires, which they cannot be but by rewards and punishments, that will over-balance the satisfaction any one shall propose to himself in the breach of the law.
John Locke
Image
Things of this world are in so constant a flux, that nothing remains long in the same state.
John Locke
Image
Is it worth the name of freedom to be at liberty to play the fool?

A sound mind in a sound body is a short but full description of a happy state in this world.
John Locke
Image
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
Image
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
Image
One unerring mark of the love of truth is not entertaining any proposition with greater assurance than the proofs it is built upon will warrant.
John Locke
Image
He that will have his son have respect for him and his orders, must himself have a great reverence for his son.
John Locke
Image
The reservedness and distance that fathers keep, often deprive their sons of that refuge which would be of more advantage to them than an hundred rebukes or chidings.
John Locke
Image
What worries you, masters you.
John Locke
Image
Crooked things may be as stiff and unflexible as streight: and Men may be as positive and peremptory in Error as in Truth.
John Locke
Image
New opinions are always suspected, and usually opposed, without any other reason but because they are not already common.
John Locke
Image
He that will make good use of any part of his life must allow a large part of it to recreation.
John Locke
Image
'Tis true that governments cannot be supported without great charge, and it is fit everyone who enjoys a share of protection should pay out of his estate his proportion of the maintenance of it.
John Locke
Image
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
Image
The only fence against the world is a thorough knowledge of it.
John Locke
