More quotes by John Locke
There is not so contemptible a plant or animal that does not confound the most enlarged understanding.
John Locke
Where there is no law there is no freedom.
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
Justice and truth are the common ties of society
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
As usurpation is the exercise of power which another has a right to, so tyranny is the exercise of power beyond right, which nobody can have a right to.
John Locke
I am sure, zeal or love for truth can never permit falsehood to be used in the defense of it.
John Locke
Who lies for you will lie against you.
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
Revelation in matters where reason cannot judge, or but probably, ought to be hearkened to. First, Whatever proposition is revealed, of whose truth our mind, by its natural faculties and notions, cannot judge, that is purely matter of faith, and above reason.
John Locke
The care of souls cannot belong to the civil magistrate.
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
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
That which is static and repetitive is boring. That which is dynamic and random is confusing. In between lies art.
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 least and most imperceptible impressions received in our infancy have consequences very important and of long duration.
John Locke
There cannot any one moral rule be proposed whereof a man may not justly demand a reason.
John Locke
There cannot be greater rudeness than to interrupt another in the current of his discourse.
John Locke
Knowledge being to be had only of visible and certain truth, error is not a fault of our knowledge, but a mistake of our judgment, giving assent to that which is not true.
John Locke
I have no reason to suppose that he, who would take away my Liberty, would not when he had me in his Power, take away everything else.
John Locke
