Education begins the gentleman, but reading, good company and reflection must finish him.
From John Locke
All mankind... being all equal and independent, no one ought to harm another in his life, health, liberty or possessions.
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 law, where there is no law, there is no freedom.
Our incomes are like our shoes; if too small, they gall and pinch us; but if too large, they cause us to stumble and to trip.
The reason why men enter into society is the preservation of their property.
Every man has a property in his own person. This nobody has a right to, but himself.
There is frequently more to be learned from the unexpected questions of a child than the discourses of men.
Government has no other end, but the preservation of property.
Where there is no property there is no injustice.
Parents wonder why the streams are bitter, when they themselves have poisoned the fountain.
