Quotes from the same author
I have always thought the actions of men the best interpreters of their thoughts.
John Locke
If you want to succeed you should strike out on new paths, rather than travel the worn paths of accepted success.
John Locke
A friendship founded on business is better than a business founded on friendship.
John Locke
Curiosity in children, is but an appetite for knowledge. The great reason why children abandon themselves wholly to silly pursuits and trifle away their time insipidly is, because they find their curiosity balked, and their inquiries neglected.
John Locke
The tendency to cruelty
should be watched in
children and if they
incline to any such
cruelty, they should be
taught the contrary
usage. For the custom
of tormenting and killing
other animals will, by
degrees, harden their
hearts even toward man.
Children should from
the beginning, be
brought up in an
abhorrence of killing or
tormenting living
beings.
John Locke
