„The Indians, whom we call barbarous, observe much more decency and civility in their discourses and conversation“
— John Locke, kniha Some Thoughts Concerning Education
Some Thoughts Concerning Education (1693), Context: The Indians, whom we call barbarous, observe much more decency and civility in their discourses and conversation, giving one another a fair silent hearing till they have quite done; and then answering them calmly, and without noise or passion. And if it be not so in this civiliz'd part of the world, we must impute it to a neglect in education, which has not yet reform'd this antient piece of barbarity amongst us.
Sec. 145
„Reading furnishes the mind only with materials of knowledge; it is thinking that makes what we read ours.“
— John Locke
Context: This is that which I think great readers are apt to be mistaken in; those who have read of everything, are thought to understand everything too; but it is not always so. Reading furnishes the mind only with materials of knowledge; it is thinking that makes what we read ours. We are of the ruminating kind, and it is not enough to cram ourselves with a great load of collections; unless we chew them over again, they will not give us strength and nourishment.
As quoted in "Hand Book : Caution and Counsels" in The Common School Journal Vol. 5, No. 24 (15 December 1843) by Horace Mann, p. 371
„He will better comprehend the foundations and measures of decency and justice, and have livelier, and more lasting impressions“
— John Locke, kniha Some Thoughts Concerning Education
Some Thoughts Concerning Education (1693), Context: He will better comprehend the foundations and measures of decency and justice, and have livelier, and more lasting impressions of what he ought to do, by giving his opinion on cases propos'd, and reasoning with his tutor on fit instances, than by giving a silent, negligent, sleepy audience to his tutor's lectures; and much more than by captious logical disputes, or set declamations of his own, upon any question. The one sets the thoughts upon wit and false colours, and not upon truth; the other teaches fallacy, wrangling, and opiniatry; and they are both of them things that spoil the judgment, and put a man out of the way of right and fair reasoning; and therefore carefully to be avoided by one who would improve himself, and be acceptable to others.

„Virtue is harder to be got than knowledge of the world“
— John Locke, kniha Some Thoughts Concerning Education
Some Thoughts Concerning Education (1693), Context: Virtue is harder to be got than knowledge of the world; and, if lost in a young man, is seldom recovered.
Sec. 70
