Thomas Hobbes Quotes

"Hell is truth seen too late""A man cannot lay down the right of resisting them that assault him by force to take away his life""Curiosity is the lust of the mind""No arts no letters no society and which is worst of all continual fear and danger of violent death and the life of man solitary poor nasty brutish and short""In the state of nature, profit is the measure of right""Words are the money of fools""Knowledge is power""Fear of things invisible is the natural seed of that which everyone in himself calleth religion""Covenants without the sword are but words and of no strength to secure a man at all""The right of nature is the liberty each man hath to use his own power as he will himself for the preservation of his own nature that is to say of his own life""Leisure is the mother of philosophy""The condition of man is a condition of war of everyone against everyone"
