More quotes by John Locke
Reason must be our last judge and guide in everything.
John Locke
Untruth being unacceptable to the mind of man, there is no other defence left for absurdity but obscurity.
John Locke
Where all is but dream, reasoning and arguments are of no use, truth and knowledge nothing.
John Locke
Success in fighting means not coming at your opponent the way he wants to fight you.
John Locke
Every man carries about him a touchstone, if he will make use of it, to distinguish substantial gold from superficial glitterings, truth from appearances. 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
Who are we to tell anyone what they can or can't do?
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. Every man has a property in his own person. This nobody has any right to but himself. The people cannot delegate to government the power to do anything which would be unlawful for them to do themselves.
John Locke
He that would seriously set upon the search of truth, ought in the first place to prepare his mind with a love of it. For he that loves it not, will not take much pains to get it nor be much concerned when he misses it.
John Locke
To ask at what time a man has first any ideas is to ask when he begins to perceive having ideas and perception being the same thing.
John Locke
The dread of evil is a much more forcible principle of human actions than the prospect of good.
John Locke
Mathematical proofs, like diamonds, are hard and clear, and will be touched with nothing but strict reasoning.
John Locke
We are born with faculties and powers capable almost of anything, such at least as would carry us farther than can easily be imagined: but it is only the exercise of those powers, which gives us ability and skill in any thing, and leads us towards perfection.
John Locke
Parents wonder why the streams are bitter, when they themselves have poisoned the fountain.
John Locke
Many a good poetic vein is buried under a trade, and never produces any thing for want of improvement.
John Locke
It is vain to find fault with those arts of deceiving wherein men find pleasure to be deceived.
John Locke
When ideas float in our mind, without any reflection or regard of the understanding, it is that which the French call reverie.
John Locke
Firmness or stiffness of the mind is not from adherence to truth, but submission to prejudice.
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
Who lies for you will lie against you.
John Locke
