Tells Locke

Famous quotes containing the words tells and/or locke:

    No man dies for what he knows to be true. Men die for what they want to be true, for what some terror in their hearts tells them is not true.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    When the spirit brings light into our minds, it dispels darkness. We see it, as we do that of the sun at noon, and need not the twilight of reason to show it us. This light from heaven is strong, clear, and pure carries its own demonstration with it; and we may as naturally take a glow-worm to assist us to discover the sun, as to examine the celestial ray by our dim candle, reason.
    —John Locke (1632–1704)
