“Il raffinamento dell'intelletto ha due fini: in primo luogo accrescere la nostra conoscenza, secondariamente permetterci di diffondere questa conoscenza agli altri.”

John Locke

“Le leggi non vegliano sulla verità delle opinioni ma sulla sicurezza e l'integrità di ciascuno e dello Stato.”

John Locke

Origine: Da Lettera sulla tolleranza, 1689.

“Poiché, essendo la stessa consapevolezza quella che fa sì che un uomo sia se stesso a se stesso, l'identità personale dipende da quella, e da essa soltanto […] Infatti, finché un essere intelligente può ripetere l'idea di qualunque azione passata con la stessa consapevolezza di essa che ne ebbe al principio, e con la stessa consapevolezza che ha qualunque azione presente, fino a quel momento esso è il medesimo io personale. Esso è infatti se stesso a sé stesso, ora, per la coscienza che ha dei suoi pensieri ed azioni presenti, e così sarà lo stesso lo fintanto che la stessa consapevolezza possa estendersi ad azioni passate o a venire; e, per trascorrere di tempo e mutar di sostanza, non diverrebbe mai due persone, più che non lo diventi un uomo per il fatto di portare oggi abiti diversi da quelli che portava ieri, avendo fatto tra ieri e oggi un sonno, breve o lungo che sia: poiché la stessa consapevolezza unisce nella stessa persona quelle azioni tra loro lontane, quali che siano le sostanze che hanno contribuito alla loro produzione.”

John Locke Frasi e Citazioni

“Un uomo che, a causa di un violento attacco di gotta negli arti, si trova libero da un peso nella testa o da una mancanza di appetito nello stomaco, desidera di esser alleggerito anche dal dolore ai piedi e alle mani (giacché, dovunque c'è dolore, c'è desiderio di liberarsi); tuttavia poiché sa che la rimozione del dolore può trasportare l'umore nocivo ad una parte più vitale, la sua volontà non si determina ad un'azione che può servire ad allontanare questo dolore.”

John Locke: Frasi in inglese

“As to the papists, 'tis certain that several of their dangerous opinions, which are absolutely destructive of all governments but the pope’s, ought not to be tolerated in propagating those opinions; and whosoever shall spread or publish any of them the magistrate is bound to suppress so far as may be sufficient to restrain it…Papists are not to enjoy the benefit of toleration, because, where they have power, they think themselves bound to deny it to others…It being impossible, either by indulgence or severity, to make papists, whilst papists, friends to your government, being enemies to it both in their principles and interest, and therefore considering them as irreconcilable enemies, of whose fidelity you can never be secured whilst they owe a blind obedience to any infallible pope, who hath the keys of their consciences tied to his girdle, and can, upon occasion, dispense with all their oaths, promises, and the obligations they have to their prince, especially being (in their sense) a heretic, and arm them to the disturbance of the government, [I] think they ought not to enjoy the benefit of toleration.”

An Essay Concerning Human Understanding (1689)

“One thing I have frequently observed in children, that when they have got possession of any poor creature, they are apt to use it ill: they often torment, and treat it very roughly, young birds, butterflies, and such other poor animals which fall into their hands, and that with a seeming kind of pleasure. This I think should be watched in them, and if they incline to any such cruelty, they should be taught the contrary usage. For the custom of tormenting and killing of beasts, will, by degrees, harden their minds even towards men; and they will delight in the suffering and destruction of inferior creatures, will not be apt to be very compassionate or benign to those of their own kind. Our practice takes notice of this in the exclusion of butchers from juries of life and death.”

“I doubt not but one great reason why many children abandon themselves wholly to silly sports, and trifle away all their time insipidly, is, because they have found their curiosity baulk'd, and their inquiries neglected. But had they been treated with more kindness and respect, and their questions answered, as they shuold, to their satisfaction; I doubt not but that they would have taken more pleasure in learning, and improving their knowledge, wherein there would still be newness and variety, which is what they are delighted with, than in returning over and over to the same play and play-things.”

“Though you give no countenance to the complaints of the querulous, yet take care to curb the insolence and ill nature of the injurious. When you observe it yourself, reprove it before the injur'd party: but if the complaint be of something really worth your notice, and prevention another time, then reprove the offender by himself alone, out of sight of him who complain'd and make him go and ask pardon, and make reparation; which ooming thus, as it were from himself, will be the more cheerfully performed, and more kindly receiv'd, the love strenghten'd between them, and a custom of civility grow familiar amongst your children.”

Two Treatises of Government (1689)
Contesto: For if it be asked what security, what fence is there in such a state against the violence and oppression of this absolute ruler, the very question can scarce be borne. They are ready to tell you that it deserves death only to ask after safety. Betwixt subject and subject, they will grant, there must be measures, laws, and judges for their mutual peace and security. But as for the ruler, he ought to be absolute, and is above all such circumstances; because he has a power to do more hurt and wrong, it is right when he does it. To ask how you may be guarded from or injury on that side, where the strongest hand is to do it, is presently the voice of faction and rebellion. As if when men, quitting the state of Nature, entered into society, they agreed that all of them but one should be under the restraint of laws; but that he should still retain all the liberty of the state of Nature, increased with power, and made licentious by impunity. This is to think that men are so foolish that they take care to avoid what mischiefs may be done them by polecats or foxes, but are content, nay, think it safety, to be devoured by lions.
