Image
The visible mark of extraordinary wisdom and power appear so plainly in all the works of creation.
John Locke
Image
What worries you, masters you.
John Locke
Image
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
Image
Consciousness is the perception of what passes in man's own mind.
John Locke
Image
Where there is no property there is no injustice.
John Locke
Image
All mankind... being all equal and independent, no one ought to harm another in his life, health, liberty or possessions.
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
Image
Struggle is nature's way of strengthening it
John Locke
Image
Our incomes are like our shoes if too small, they gall and pinch us but if too large, they cause us to stumble and to trip.
John Locke
Image
Parents wonder why the streams are bitter, when they themselves have poisoned the fountain.
John Locke
Image
The greatest part of mankind ... are given up to labor, and enslaved to the necessity of their mean condition whose lives are worn out only in the provisions for living.
John Locke
Image
The senses at first let in particular Ideas, and furnish the yet empty Cabinet: And the Mind by degrees growing familiar with some of them, they are lodged in the Memory, and Names got to them.
John Locke
Image
Where there is no desire, there will be no industry.
John Locke
Image
It is practice alone that brings the powers of the mind, as well as those of the body, to their perfection.
John Locke
Image
Memory is the power to revive again in our minds those ideas which after imprinting have disappeared, or have been laid aside out of sight.
John Locke
Image
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
Image
Curiosity in children, is but an appetite for knowledge. The great reason why children abandon themselves wholly to silly pursuits and trifle away their time insipidly is, because they find their curiosity balked, and their inquiries neglected.
John Locke
Image
The dread of evil is a much more forcible principle of human actions than the prospect of good.
John Locke
Image
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
Image
There are a thousand ways to Wealth, but only one way to Heaven.
John Locke
