Things of this world are in so constant a flux, that nothing remains long in the same state.
John Locke
Image
Whosoever will list himself under the banner of Christ, must, in the first place and above all things, make war upon his own lusts and vices. It is in vain for any man to usurp the name of Christian, without holiness of life, purity of manners, benignity and meekness of spirit.
John Locke

And indeed the use and benefit of this touchstone, which is natural reason, is spoiled and lost only by assuming prejudices, overweening presumption, and narrowing our minds.
John Locke
Image

John Locke
Image
It is labour indeed that puts the difference on everything.
John Locke

John Locke
Image
It is one thing to persuade, another to command one thing to press with arguments, another with penalties.
John Locke
Image
Success in fighting means not coming at your opponent the way he wants to fight you.
John Locke
Image
Reason must be our last judge and guide in everything.
John Locke
Image
It is easier for a tutor to command than to teach.
John Locke
Image
What worries you, masters you.
John Locke
Image
God is the place of spirits, as spaces are the places of bodies.
John Locke
Image
Crooked things may be as stiff and unflexible as streight: and Men may be as positive and peremptory in Error as in Truth.
John Locke
Image
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
