He that will have his son have respect for him and his orders, must himself have a great reverence for his son. ~John Locke
#quotes #john-locke #family #respect

He was welcome everywhere he went, and was well-aware of his inability to tolerate solitude. He felt no inclination to be alone and avoided it as far as possible; he didn't really want to become any better acquainted with himself.

On his own he was frosty, no use to himself at all, like a match left lying in its box. ~Stefan Zweig
