Locke

Famous quotes containing the word locke:

    Whenever the society is dissolved, it is certain the government of that society cannot remain ... that being as impossible, as for the frame of a house to subsist when the materials of it are scattered and dissipated by a whirlwind, or jumbled into a confused heap by an earthquake.
    —John Locke (1632–1704)

    Every drowsy nod shakes their doctrine, who teach, that the soul is always thinking.
    —John Locke (1632–1704)

    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)
