More quotes by John Locke
Consciousness is the perception of what passes in man's own mind.
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
Untruth being unacceptable to the mind of man, there is no other defence left for absurdity but obscurity.
John Locke
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
Fortitude is the guard and support of the other virtues.
John Locke
General observations drawn from particulars are the jewels of knowledge, comprehending great store in a little room but they are therefore to be made with the greater care and caution, lest, if we take counterfeit for true, our loss and shame be the greater when our stock comes to a severe scrutiny.
John Locke
Where there is no desire, there will be no industry.
John Locke
Parents wonder why the streams are bitter, when they themselves have poisoned the fountain.
John Locke
It is one thing to show a man that he is in an error, and another to put him in possession of the truth.
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
Error is none the better for being common, nor truth the worse for having lain neglected.
John Locke
The necessity of pursuing true happiness is the foundation of all liberty- Happiness, in its full extent, is the utmost pleasure we are capable of.
John Locke
[Individuals] have a right to defend themselves and recover by force what by unlawful force is taken from them.
John Locke
The difference, so observable in men's understandings and parts, does not arise so much from their natural faculties, as acquired habits.
John Locke
I attribute the little I know to my not having been ashamed to ask for information, and to my rule of conversing with all descriptions of men on those topics that form their own peculiar professions and pursuits.
John Locke
Let not men think there is no truth, but in the sciences that they study, or the books that they read.
John Locke
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
Who hath a prospect of the different state of perfect happiness or misery that attends all men after this life, depending on their behavior, the measures of good and evil that govern his choice are mightily changed.
John Locke
Fashion for the most part is nothing but the ostentation of riches.
John Locke
I find every sect, as far as reason will help them, make use of it gladly: and where it fails them, they cry out, It is a matter of faith, and above reason.
John Locke
