John Locke Quotes:
Ocupation: Philosopher
Life: August 29, 1632 - October 28, 1704
Birthday: August 29
Death: October 28
Men in great place are thrice servants; servants of the sovereign state, servants of fame, and servants of business; so as they have no freedom, neither in their persons, nor in their actions, nor in their times. It is a strange desire to seek power and to lose liberty; or to seek power over others, and to lose power over a man's self.
