There cannot any one moral Rule be propos'd, whereof a Man may not justly demand a Reason. - John Locke

"From all which it is evident, that though the things of nature are given in common, yet man, by being master of himself, and " proprietor of his own person, and the actions or labour of it, had still in himself the great foundation of property;" and that which made up the greater part of what he applied to the support or comfort of his being, when invention and arts had improved the conveniencies of life, was perfectly his own, and did not belong in common to others."

gold, silver, and diamonds, are things that fancy or agreement hath put the value on, more than real use,

we see how labour could make men distinct titles to several parcels of it, for their private uses; wherein there could be no doubt of right, no room for quarrel.
