Locke

Famous quotes containing the word locke:

    The only fence against the world is a thorough knowledge of it.
    —John Locke (1632–1704)

    To suppose the soul to think, and the man not to perceive it, is, as has been said, to make two persons in one man: And if one considers well these men’s way of speaking, one should be led into a suspicion that they do so. For they who tell us that the soul always thinks, do never, that I remember, say that a man always thinks.
    —John Locke (1632–1704)

    It will be no excuse to an idle and untoward servant, who would not attend his business by candle-light, to plead that he had not broad sun-shine. The candle, that is set up in us, shines bright enough for all our purposes.
    —John Locke (1632–1704)
