John Locke
He that makes use of another's fancy or necessity to sell ribbons or cloth dearer to him than to another man at the same time, cheats him.
John Locke

John Locke
I have always thought the actions of men the best interpreters of their thoughts.
John Locke
It is ambition enough to be employed as an under-labourer in clearing the ground a little, and removing some of the rubbish that lies in the way to knowledge.
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
Knowledge being to be had only of visible and certain truth, error is not a fault of our knowledge, but a mistake of our judgment, giving assent to that which is not true.
John Locke
Reason must be our last judge and guide in everything.
John Locke
Is it worth the name of freedom to be at liberty to play the fool?
John Locke
