To love our neighbor as ourselves is such a truth for regulating human society, that by that alone one might determine all the cases in social morality.
More Quotes from John Locke:
To prejudge other men's notions before we have looked into them is not to show their darkness but to put out our own eyes.John Locke
I attribute the little I know to my not having been ashamed to ask for information, and to my rule of conversing with all descriptions of men on those topics that form their own peculiar professions and pursuits.
John Locke
Our knowledge of our own existence is intuitive. As for our own existence, we perceive it so plainly and so certainly, that it neither needs nor is capable of any proof.... I think, I reason, I feel pleasure and pain can any of these be more evident to me than my own existence ... For if I know I feel pain, it is evident I have as certain perception of my own existence, as of the existence of the pain I feel or if I know I doubt, I have as certain perception of the existence of the thing doubting, as of that thought which I call doubt. Experience then convinces us, that we have an intuitive knowledge of our own existence, and an internal infallible perception that we are. In every act of sensation, reasoning, or thinking, we are conscious to ourselves of our own being and, in this matter, come not short of the highest degree of certainty.
John Locke
Religion, which should most distinguish us from beasts, and ought most peculiarly to elevate us, as rational creatures, above brutes, is that wherein men often appear most irrational, and more senseless than beasts themselves.
John Locke

John Locke
The improvement of the understanding is for two ends first, for our own increase of knowledge secondly, to enable us to deliver and make out that knowledge to others.
John Locke

There was a bit of a readjustment period because I didn't know what it was going to be like. I didn't know what was happening, how it was going to be, how it was all going to feel. As time went on it was great. Everything felt good so we decided to go with it.
