John Locke

"A dreamer lives forever, And a toiler dies in a day. "

"A sound mind in a sound body is a short but full description of a happy state in this world. "

"Fortitude is the guard and support of the other virtues. "

"I have always thought the actions of men the best interpreters of their thoughts. "

"I think it every man's indispensable duty to do all the service he can to his country and I see not what difference he puts between himself and his cattle who lives without that thought. "

"New opinions are always suspected, and usually opposed, without any other reason but because they are not already common. "

"Where all is but dream, reasoning and arguments are of no use, truth and knowledge nothing. "
