More quotes by John Locke
Where there is no law there is no freedom.
John Locke
The least and most imperceptible impressions received in our infancy have consequences very important and of long duration.
John Locke
The necessity of pursuing true happiness is the foundation of all liberty- Happiness, in its full extent, is the utmost pleasure we are capable of.
John Locke
A sound mind in a sound body is a short but full description of a happy state in this world.
John Locke
I have always thought the actions of men the best interpreters of their thoughts.
John Locke
All wealth is the product of labor.
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
Revelation in matters where reason cannot judge, or but probably, ought to be hearkened to. First, Whatever proposition is revealed, of whose truth our mind, by its natural faculties and notions, cannot judge, that is purely matter of faith, and above reason.
John Locke
I pretend not to teach, but to inquire.
John Locke
Logic is the anatomy of thought.
John Locke
All mankind... being all equal and independent, no one ought to harm another in his life, health, liberty or possessions.
John Locke
Where there is no desire, there will be no industry.
John Locke
Children (nay, and men too) do most by example.
John Locke
Fortitude is the guard and support of the other virtues.
John Locke
When the sacredness of property is talked of, it should be remembered that any such sacredness does not belong in the same degree to landed property.
John Locke
Not time is the measure of movement but: ...each constant periodic appearance of ideas.
John Locke
Don't let the things you don't have prevent you from using what you do have.
John Locke
Certainly great persons had need to borrow other men's opinions to think themselves happy for if they judge by their own feeling, they cannot find it: but if they think with themselves what other men think of them, and that other men would fain be as they are, then they are happy as it were by report, when, perhaps, they find the contrary within.
John Locke
I attribute the little I know to my not having been ashamed to ask for information, and to my rule of conversing with all descriptions of men on those topics that form their own peculiar professions and pursuits.
John Locke
Revolt is the right of the people
John Locke
