More quotes by John Locke
There cannot any one moral rule be proposed whereof a man may not justly demand a reason. Every man has a property in his own person. This nobody has any right to but himself. The people cannot delegate to government the power to do anything which would be unlawful for them to do themselves.
John Locke
It is easier for a tutor to command than to teach.
John Locke
Revolt is the right of the people
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
No man's knowledge here can go beyond his experience.
John Locke
Whoever uses force without Right ... puts himself into a state of War with those, against whom he uses it, and in that state all former Ties are canceled, all other Rights cease, and every one has a Right to defend himself, and to resist the Aggressor.
John Locke
Untruth being unacceptable to the mind of man, there is no other defence left for absurdity but obscurity.
John Locke
Error is none the better for being common, nor truth the worse for having lain neglected.
John Locke
In the discharge of thy place set before thee the best examples for imitation is a globe of precepts.
John Locke
All wealth is the product of labor.
John Locke
Beating is the worst, and therefore the last means to be us'd in the correction of children, and that only in the cases of extremity, after all gently ways have been try'd, and proved unsuccessful which, if well observ'd, there will very seldom be any need of blows.
John Locke
There are two sides, two players. One is light, the other is dark.
John Locke
Where there is no property there is no injustice.
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
The only thing we are naturally afraid of is pain, or loss of pleasure. And because these are not annexed to any shape, colour, or size of visible objects, we are frighted of none of them, till either we have felt pain from them, or have notions put into us that they will do us harm.
John Locke
The only fence against the world is a thorough knowledge of it, into which a young gentleman should be enter'd by degrees, as he can bear it and the earlier the better, so he be in safe and skillful hands to guide him.
John Locke
How then shall they have the play-games you allow them, if none must be bought for them? I answer, they should make them themselves, or at least endeavour it, and set themselves about it. ...And if you help them where they are at a stand, it will more endear you to them than any chargeable toys that you shall buy for them.
John Locke
Not time is the measure of movement but: ...each constant periodic appearance of ideas.
John Locke
If any one shall claim a power to lay and levy taxes on the people by his own authority and without such consent of the people, he thereby invades the fundamental law of property, and subverts the end of government.
John Locke
There cannot any one moral rule be proposed whereof a man may not justly demand a reason.
