More quotes by 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
There are two sides, two players. One is light, the other is dark.
John Locke
Who are we to tell anyone what they can or can't do?
John Locke
Crooked things may be as stiff and unflexible as streight: and Men may be as positive and peremptory in Error as in Truth.
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
With books we stand on the shoulders of giants.
John Locke
I pretend not to teach, but to inquire.
John Locke
It is practice alone that brings the powers of the mind, as well as those of the body, to their perfection.
John Locke
Success in fighting means not coming at your opponent the way he wants to fight you.
John Locke
The only fence against the world is a thorough knowledge of it.
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
Reading furnishes the mind only with materials of knowledge it is thinking that makes what we read ours.
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
God, when he makes the prophet, does not unmake the man.
John Locke
The difference, so observable in men's understandings and parts, does not arise so much from their natural faculties, as acquired habits.
John Locke
The end of law is not to abolish or restrain, but to preserve and enlarge freedom. For in all the states of created beings capable of law, where there is no law, there is no freedom.
John Locke
It is one thing to persuade, another to command one thing to press with arguments, another with penalties.
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
It is labour indeed that puts the difference on everything.
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
