Quotes from John Locke
"All mankind... being all equal and independent, no one ought to harm another in his life, health, liberty or possessions."
This explains how everyone has inalienable rights that cannot be harmed.
"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."
This explains how law is important to people and how without law, there is no freedom.
"All men are liable to error; and most men are, in many points, by passion or interest, under temptation to it."
People are prone to making mistakes due to certain things.
"New opinions are always suspected, and usually opposed, without any other reason but because they are not already common."
Everyone has different opinions and some people don't respect that opinion because it is different from their own.
"Our deeds disguise us. People need endless time to try on their deeds, until each knows the proper deeds for him to do. But every day, every hour, rushes by. There is no time."
What we do can change the world, if you do the right thing and it can take longer than expected. But, over time, we can do the right thing and it can affect us greatly.
