John Locke Quotes:
Ocupation: Philosopher
Life: August 29, 1632 - October 28, 1704
Birthday: August 29
Death: October 28
Let us suppose the mind to be, as we say, white paper, void of all characters, without any ideas; how comes it to be furnished? Whence comes it by that vast store which the busy and boundless fancy of man has painted on it with an almost endless variety? Whence has it all the materials of reason and knowledge? To this I answer, in one word, from experience.
