"He that judges without informing himself to the utmost that he is capable, cannot acquit himself of judging amiss" — John Locke

Much can be inferred about a man from his mistress: in her one beholds his weaknesses and his dreams

It is one thing to show a man that he is in an error, and another to put him in possession of truth

The only fence against the world is a thorough knowledge of it

No man's knowledge here can go beyond his experience

What most clearly characterizes true freedom and its true employment is its misemployment

To read means to borrow; to create out of one's readings is paying off one's debts
