John Locke in a few words
Newton and Locke are examples of the deep sagacity which may be acquired by long habits of thinking and study.
Unfortunately, I can consider him—what is hardly fair—only as a pure philosopher: for had Locke's mind been more profound, it might have been less influential.
John Locke, perhaps the greatest, but certainly the most characteristic, of English philosophers, was born at Wrington, a pleasant village in the north of Somersetshire, August 29, 1632.
