More quotes by John Locke
The care of souls cannot belong to the civil magistrate.
John Locke
Revolt is the right of the people
John Locke
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
Children (nay, and men too) do most by example.
John Locke
Consciousness is the perception of what passes in man's own mind.
John Locke
There is frequently more to be learned from the unexpected questions of a child than the discourses of men.
John Locke
In transgressing the law of nature, the offender declares himself to live by another rule than that of reason and common equity.
John Locke
General observations drawn from particulars are the jewels of knowledge, comprehending great store in a little room but they are therefore to be made with the greater care and caution, lest, if we take counterfeit for true, our loss and shame be the greater when our stock comes to a severe scrutiny.
John Locke
Though the familiar use of things about us take off our wonder, yet it cures not our ignorance.
John Locke
The power of the legislative being derived from the people by a positive voluntary grant and institution, can be no other than what that positive grant conveyed, which being only to make laws, and not to make legislators, the legislative can have no power to transfer their authority of making laws, and place it in other hands.
John Locke
There are two sides, two players. One is light, the other is dark.
John Locke
The people cannot delegate to government the power to do anything which would be unlawful for them to do themselves.
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
That which is static and repetitive is boring. That which is dynamic and random is confusing. In between lies art.
John Locke
One unerring mark of the love of truth is not entertaining any proposition with greater assurance than the proofs it is built upon will warrant.
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.
John Locke
[Individuals] have a right to defend themselves and recover by force what by unlawful force is taken from them.
John Locke
A king is a mortal god on earth, unto whom the living God hath lent his own name as a great honour but withal told him, he should die like a man, lest he should be proud, and flatter himself that God hath with his name imparted unto him his nature also.
John Locke
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
Children have as much mind to show that they are free, that their own good actions come from themselves, that they are absolute and independent, as any of the proudest of you grown men, think of them as you please.
John Locke
