More quotes by 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
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
Who are we to tell anyone what they can or can't do?
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
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.

Reason must be our last judge and guide in everything.
John Locke
With books we stand on the shoulders of giants.

John Locke

John Locke
He that will make good use of any part of his life must allow a large part of it to recreation.
John Locke
Where there is no desire, there will be no industry.
John Locke
Men's happiness or misery is [for the] most part of their own making.
John Locke
'Tis true that governments cannot be supported without great charge, and it is fit everyone who enjoys a share of protection should pay out of his estate his proportion of the maintenance of it.
John Locke
Till a man can judge whether they be truths or not, his understanding is but little improved, and thus men of much reading, though greatly learned, but may be little knowing.
John Locke
Whosoever is found variable, and changeth manifestly without manifest cause, giveth suspicion of corruption: therefore, always, when thou changest thine opinion or course, profess it plainly, and declare it, together with the reasons that move thee to change.
John Locke
The only fence against the world is a thorough knowledge of it.
John Locke
It is one thing to persuade, another to command one thing to press with arguments, another with penalties.
John Locke
Wherever Law ends, Tyranny begins.
John Locke
