Famous quotes containing the word locke:

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

    Knowledge being to be had only of visible and certain truth, error is not a fault of our knowledge, but a mistake of our judgment, giving assent to that which is not true.
    —John Locke (1632–1704)

    Freedom of men under government is to have a standing rule to live by, common to every one of that society, and made by the legislative power vested in it; a liberty to follow my own will in all things, when the rule prescribes not, and not to be subject to the inconstant, unknown, arbitrary will of another man.
    —John Locke (1632–1704)
