Awesome Locke Quotes on Evidence

Nothing new, just can't get enough of it.

From "Of Enthusiasm" in the Inquiry:

“It is as impossible that the love of truth should carry my assent above the evidence there is to me that it is true, as that the love of truth should make me assent to any proposition for the sake of that evidence which it has not.”

“One does violence to his own faculties, tyrannizes over his own mind, and usurps the prerogative that belongs to truth alone, which is to command assent by only its own authority, i.e. by and in proportion to that evidence which it carries with it.”  

“Light, true light, in the mind is, or can be, nothing else but the evidence of the truth of any proposition.” 

Some people think of evidentialism as being too "cold" but Locke puts the love in it, y'all.
