Locke Lord Llp/history

Famous quotes containing the words locke, lord and/or history:

    If a child were kept in a place where he never saw any other but black and white till he were a man, he would have no more ideas of scarlet or green, than he that from his childhood never tasted an oyster, or a pineapple, has of those particular relishes.
    —John Locke (1632–1704)

    And the LORD changed his mind about the disaster that he planned to bring on his people.
    Bible: Hebrew, Exodus 32:14.

    The disadvantage of men not knowing the past is that they do not know the present. History is a hill or high point of vantage, from which alone men see the town in which they live or the age in which they are living.
    Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
