More quotes by Thomas Hobbes
As a draft-animal is yoked in a wagon, even so the spirit is yoked in this body
Thomas Hobbes
Thoughts are to the Desires as Scouts and Spies, to range abroad, and find the way to the things Desired.
Thomas Hobbes
For all laws are general judgements, or sentences of the legislator as also every particular judgement is a law to him whose case is judged.
Thomas Hobbes
This is that law of the Gospel whatsoever you require that others should do to you, that do ye to them.

All generous minds have a horror of what are commonly called 'Facts'. They are the brute beasts of the intellectual domain.
Thomas Hobbes
Nature itself cannot err
Thomas Hobbes
Baptism is the sacrament of allegiance of them that are to be received into the Kingdom of God, that is to say, into Eternal life, that is to say, to Remission of Sin. For as Eternal life was lost by the committing, so it is recovered by the remitting of men's sins.
Thomas Hobbes
The Enemy has been here in the night of our natural ignorance, and sown the tares of spiritual errors.
Thomas Hobbes
Covenants without swords are but words.
Thomas Hobbes

Thomas Hobbes
Understanding is nothing else than conception caused by speech.
Thomas Hobbes
When two, or more men, know of one and the same fact, they are said to be CONSCIOUS of it one to another which is as much as to know it together.
Thomas Hobbes
The Pacts and Covenants, by which the parts of this Body Politique were at first made, set together, and united, resemble that Fiat, or the Let us make man, pronounced by God in the Creation.
Thomas Hobbes
Ignorance of the law is no good excuse, where every man is bound to take notice of the laws to which he is subject.
Thomas Hobbes
And seeing every man is presumed to do all things in order to his own benefit, no man is a fit Arbitrator in his own cause
Thomas Hobbes
The flesh endures the storms of the present alone the mind, those of the past and future as well as the present. Gluttony is a lust of the mind.
Thomas Hobbes
A democracy is no more than an aristocracy of orators. The people are so readily moved by demagogues that control must be exercised by the government over speech and press.
Thomas Hobbes
Men measure not only other men, but all other things, by themselves.
Thomas Hobbes
