John LockeFor a man's property is not at all secure, though there be good and equitable laws to set the bounds of it, between him and his fellow subjects, if he who commands those subjects, have power to take from any private man, what part he pleases of his property, and use and dispose of it as he thinks good.
John LockeHe that will have his son have respect for him and his orders, must himself have a great reverence for his son.
