Locke

Famous quotes containing the word locke:

    New opinions are always suspected, and usually opposed, without any other reason but because they are not already common.
    —John Locke (1632–1704)

    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 laws, where there is no law, there is no freedom.
    —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)
