More quotes by John Locke
Whenever legislators endeavor to take away and destroy the property of the people, or to reduce them to slavery under arbitrary power, they put themselves into a state of war with the people, who are thereupon absolved from any further obedience.
John Locke
When the sacredness of property is talked of, it should be remembered that any such sacredness does not belong in the same degree to landed property.
John Locke
Is it worth the name of freedom to be at liberty to play the fool?
John Locke
[H]e that thinks absolute power purifies men's blood, and corrects the baseness of human nature, need read the history of this, or any other age, to be convinced to the contrary.
John Locke
Men in great place are thrice servants servants of the sovereign state, servants of fame, and servants of business so as they have no freedom, neither in their persons, nor in their actions, nor in their times. It is a strange desire to seek power and to lose liberty or to seek power over others, and to lose power over a man's self.
John Locke
All wealth is the product of labor.
John Locke
Who are we to tell anyone what they can or can't do?
John Locke
Revolt is the right of the people

Children generally hate to be idle all the care then is that their busy humour should be constantly employed in something of use to them
John Locke
With books we stand on the shoulders of giants.
John Locke
Fashion for the most part is nothing but the ostentation of riches.
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
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
Who lies for you will lie against you.
John Locke
Struggle is nature's way of strengthening it
John Locke
There is not so contemptible a plant or animal that does not confound the most enlarged understanding.
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
Curiosity in children, is but an appetite for knowledge. The great reason why children abandon themselves wholly to silly pursuits and trifle away their time insipidly is, because they find their curiosity balked, and their inquiries neglected.
John Locke
