Born on August 29, 1632, John Locke is cited by some scholars for the origin of the phrase "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness," in the American Declaration of Independence. They credit Locke's writing that in a natural state all people were equal and independent, and everyone had a natural right to defend his "life, health, liberty, or possessions". While he believed that human nature was characterized by reason and tolerance, he believed that it was the creation of currency that demonstrated our ability to be selfish towards one another. 📕📗📘📙📕📗📘📙 #gasstationburrito #books #bookstagram #bookish #bookworm #booknerd #bookaholic #booklove #bookquotes #bookishfeatures #authorquotes #quotes #bookfeaturepage #bookishfeatures #librarian_of_gram #bookaholic #Instaquotes #igquotes #booksofinstagram #Bookporn #literaryhistory #onthisday #johnlocke #empiricism #enlightenment #classicalliberalism #knowledge #knowledgeispower #lifelibertypursuitofhappiness #lifehealthlibertyorpossessions https://www.instagram.com/p/BnFWzzSAGGW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=kzw6zp288mcd
