Those are not at all to be tolerated who deny the being of God. Promises, covenants, and oaths, which are the bonds of human society, can have no hold upon an atheist. The taking away of God, though but even in thought, dissolves all.
John Locke

More quotes by 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
The chief art of learning is to attempt but a little at a time.
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
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
That which is static and repetitive is boring. That which is dynamic and random is confusing. In between lies art.
John Locke
Error is none the better for being common, nor truth the worse for having lain neglected.
John Locke
If the Gospel and the Apostles may be credited, no man can be a Christian without charity, and without that faith which works, not by force, but by love.
John Locke
Logic is the anatomy of thought.
John Locke
I have always thought the actions of men the best interpreters of their thoughts.
John Locke
What humanity abhors, custom reconciles and recommends to us.
John Locke
What worries you, masters you.
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
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
Let not men think there is no truth, but in the sciences that they study, or the books that they read.
John Locke
The only fence against the world is a thorough knowledge of it.
John Locke
No man's knowledge here can go beyond his experience.
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
Who lies for you will lie against you.
John Locke
Where there is no law there is no freedom.
John Locke
Curiosity in children is but an appetite for knowledge.
John Locke
