More quotes by John Locke
Revolt is the right of the people
John Locke
If punishment reaches not the mind and makes not the will supple, it hardens the offender.
John Locke
Our incomes are like our shoes if too small, they gall and pinch us but if too large, they cause us to stumble and to trip.
John Locke
Certainly great persons had need to borrow other men's opinions to think themselves happy for if they judge by their own feeling, they cannot find it: but if they think with themselves what other men think of them, and that other men would fain be as they are, then they are happy as it were by report, when, perhaps, they find the contrary within.
John Locke
In the discharge of thy place set before thee the best examples for imitation is a globe of precepts.
John Locke
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
Memory is the power to revive again in our minds those ideas which after imprinting have disappeared, or have been laid aside out of sight.
John Locke
There are a thousand ways to Wealth, but only one way to Heaven.
John Locke
If the innocent honest Man must quietly quit all he has for Peace sake, to him who will lay violent hands upon it, I desire it may be considered what kind of Peace there will be in the World, which consists only in Violence and Rapine and which is to be maintained only for the benefit of Robbers and Oppressors.
John Locke
Men's happiness or misery is [for the] most part of their own making.
John Locke
Fashion for the most part is nothing but the ostentation of riches.
John Locke
Certain subjects yield a general power that may be applied in any direction and should be studied by all.
John Locke
There is frequently more to be learned from the unexpected questions of a child than the discourses of men.
John Locke
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
We are born with faculties and powers capable almost of anything, such at least as would carry us farther than can easily be imagined: but it is only the exercise of those powers, which gives us ability and skill in any thing, and leads us towards perfection.
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
Error is none the better for being common, nor truth the worse for having lain neglected.
John Locke
It is practice alone that brings the powers of the mind, as well as those of the body, to their perfection.
John Locke
Where all is but dream, reasoning and arguments are of no use, truth and knowledge nothing.
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
