The care of souls cannot belong to the civil magistrate.
John Locke
Image
Practice conquers the habit of doing, without reflecting on the rule.
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

John Locke

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
What worries you, masters you.
John Locke
Image
Good and evil, reward and punishment, are the only motives to a rational creature
John Locke
Image
There are a thousand ways to Wealth, but only one way to Heaven.
John Locke
Image
The dread of evil is a much more forcible principle of human actions than the prospect of good.
John Locke
Image
Whosoever is found variable, and changeth manifestly without manifest cause, giveth suspicion of corruption: therefore, always, when thou changest thine opinion or course, profess it plainly, and declare it, together with the reasons that move thee to change.
John Locke
Image
Till a man can judge whether they be truths or not, his understanding is but little improved, and thus men of much reading, though greatly learned, but may be little knowing.
John Locke
Image
Things of this world are in so constant a flux, that nothing remains long in the same state.
John Locke
Image
Parents wonder why the streams are bitter, when they themselves have poisoned the fountain.
