"Every man has a property in his own person: this no body has any right to but himself. The labour of his body, and the work of his hands, we may say, are properly his."

"It is not the business of the law to make men good, but to keep them from being bad."

"For I confess myself to have been guilty of the same error, of not having looked far enough into the nature of the thing."

"Whatsoever then he removes out of the state that nature hath provided, and left it in, he hath mixed his labour with, and joined to it something that is his own, and thereby makes it his property."

"The knowledge of man's self is the beginning of all wisdom."
