More quotes by 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
The end of law is not to abolish or restrain, but to preserve and enlarge freedom. For in all the states of created beings capable of law, where there is no law, there is no freedom.
John Locke
Children have as much mind to show that they are free, that their own good actions come from themselves, that they are absolute and independent, as any of the proudest of you grown men, think of them as you please.
John Locke
The mind is furnished with ideas by experience alone
John Locke
He that will have his son have respect for him and his orders, must himself have a great reverence for his son.
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
All mankind... being all equal and independent, no one ought to harm another in his life, health, liberty or possessions.
John Locke
What humanity abhors, custom reconciles and recommends to us.
John Locke
Children (nay, and men too) do most by example.
John Locke
New opinions are always suspected, and usually opposed, without any other reason but because they are not already common.
John Locke
There cannot be greater rudeness than to interrupt another in the current of his discourse.
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
Revelation in matters where reason cannot judge, or but probably, ought to be hearkened to. First, Whatever proposition is revealed, of whose truth our mind, by its natural faculties and notions, cannot judge, that is purely matter of faith, and above reason.
John Locke
Revolt is the right of the people
John Locke
Who lies for you will lie against you.
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
It is labour indeed that puts the difference on everything.
John Locke
Neither the inveterateness of the mischief, nor the prevalency of the fashion, shall be any excuse for those who will not take care about the meaning of their own words, and will not suffer the insignificancy of their expressions to be inquired into.
John Locke
I am sure, zeal or love for truth can never permit falsehood to be used in the defense of it.
John Locke
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
