A sound mind in a sound body is a short but full description of a happy state in this world. He that has those two, has little more to wish for; and he that wants either of them will be little the better for anything else.

About
John Locke was born in Wrington, Somerset, England. He was an English philosopher whose works lie at the foundation of modern philosophical empiricism and political liberalism. He was an inspirer of both the European Enlightenment and the Constitution of the United States. His philosophical thinking was close to that of the founders of modern science, especially Robert Boyle, Sir Isaac Newton, and other members of the Royal Society. He studied at Westminster School in London and Christ Church, Oxford. He earned a bachelor of medicine degree in 1675, having studied medicine extensively during his time at Oxford and worked with such noted scientists and thinkers as Robert Boyle, Thomas Willis, Robert Hooke and Richard Lower. He wrote several books include: The Second Treatise of Civil Government, An Essay Concerning Human Understanding, A Letter Concerning Toleration, Two Treatises of Government, Some Thoughts Concerning Education, and The Reasonableness of Christianity.
