When we know our own strength...

When we know our own strength, we shall the better know what to undertake with hopes of success.

John Locke 368 quotes

There is no such way to gain ...

There is no such way to gain admittance, or give defence to strange and absurd Doctrines, as to guard them round about with Legions of obscure, doubtful, and undefin'd Words.

John Locke 368 quotes

If the innocent honest Man mu...

If the innocent honest Man must quietly quit all he has for Peace sake, to him who will lay violent hands upon it, I desire it may be considered what kind of Peace there will be in the World, which consists only in Violence and Rapine; and which is to be maintained only for the benefit of Robbers and Oppressors.

John Locke 368 quotes

It is hard to know what other...

It is hard to know what other way men can come to truth, to lay hold of it, if they do not dig and search for it as for gold and hid treasure; but he that does so, must have much earth and rubbish, before he gets the pure metal; sand, and pebbles, and dross usually lie blended with it, but the gold is nevertheless gold, and will enrich the man that employs his pains to seek and separate it.

John Locke 368 quotes

If punishment reaches not the...

If punishment reaches not the mind and makes not the will supple, it hardens the offender.

John Locke 368 quotes

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 368 quotes

He that will have his son hav...

He that will have his son have respect for him and his orders, must himself have a great reverence for his son.

John Locke 368 quotes

Let us suppose the mind to be...

Let us suppose the mind to be, as we say, white paper, void of all characters, without any ideas; how comes it to be furnished? Whence comes it by that vast store which the busy and boundless fancy of man has painted on it with an almost endless variety? Whence has it all the materials of reason and knowledge? To this I answer, in one word, from experience.

John Locke 368 quotes

If the Gospel and the Apostle...

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 368 quotes

Till a man can judge whether ...

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 368 quotes

The only fence against the wo...

The only fence against the world is a thorough knowledge of it, into which a young gentleman should be enter'd by degrees, as he can bear it; and the earlier the better, so he be in safe and skillful hands to guide him.

John Locke 368 quotes

Habits wear more constantly a...

Habits wear more constantly and with greatest force than reason, which, when we have most need of it, is seldom fairly consulted, and more rarely obeyed

John Locke 368 quotes

The tendency to cruelty sho...

The tendency to cruelty should be watched in children and if they incline to any such cruelty, they should be taught the contrary usage. For the custom of tormenting and killing other animals will, by degrees, harden their hearts even toward man. Children should from the beginning, be brought up in an abhorrence of killing or tormenting living beings.

John Locke 368 quotes

Those are not at all to be to...

Those are not at all to be tolerated who deny the being of God. Promises, covenants, and oaths, which are the bonds of human society, can have no hold upon an atheist. The taking away of God, though but even in thought, dissolves all.

John Locke 368 quotes

Error is none the better for ...

Error is none the better for being common, nor truth the worse for having lain neglected.

John Locke 368 quotes

Curiosity in children, is but...

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 368 quotes

To love truth for truth's sak...

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.

John Locke 368 quotes

There are a thousand ways to ...

There are a thousand ways to Wealth, but only one way to Heaven.

John Locke 368 quotes

[Individuals] have a right to...

[Individuals] have a right to defend themselves and recover by force what by unlawful force is taken from them.

John Locke 368 quotes

Wherever Law ends, Tyranny be...

Wherever Law ends, Tyranny begins.
