John Locke
Image
The business of education is not to make the young perfect in any one of the sciences, but so to open and dispose their minds as may best make them - capable of any, when they shall apply themselves to it.
John Locke
Image

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.

In transgressing the law of nature, the offender declares himself to live by another rule than that of reason and common equity.
John Locke
Image
That which is static and repetitive is boring. That which is dynamic and random is confusing. In between lies art.
John Locke

Consciousness is the perception of what passes in man's own mind.
John Locke
Image
Is it worth the name of freedom to be at liberty to play the fool?
John Locke
Image
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
Image
If punishment reaches not the mind and makes not the will supple, it hardens the offender.
John Locke
Image
Reason is natural revelation, whereby the eternal father of light, and fountain of all knowledge, communicates to mankind that portion of truth which he has laid within the reach of their natural faculties: revelation is natural reason enlarged by a new set of discoveries communicated by God. . . .
John Locke
Image
To love truth for truth's sake is the principal part of human perfection in this world, and the seed-plot of all other virtues.
